CONCEPTS OF COMBINED BRAYTON / RANKINE
CYCLE GENERATION
Brayton Cycle
Rankine Cycle
Integrated Solar Combined Cycle adds steam to
the Rankine Cycle

HYBRID CONCEPTS OF INTEGRATED SOLAR
THERMAL (ICSS)
• Steam produced from renewable source
• Reduces use of natural gas or light oil
• No additional capacity (MW) will result from
the operation of the solar thermal facility

WHY CONSIDER HYBRID CSP?
• Solar energy can be converted to electric energy at a
higher efficiency.
• Capital costs are lower than for a CSP-only facility of
similar size.
• Minimal additional plant staff is required
• A hybrid plant does not suffer from the thermal
inefficiencies associated with the daily startup and
shutdown of the CSP facility
• Potential reduction in fuel costs (fossil fuel input / MWh
will decrease)
• Significant reduction in carbon emissions / MWh
More efficient with lower capitol cost

MARTIN NEXT GENERATION SOLAR ENERGY
CENTER
• Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center was, until recently, the
second largest solar-thermal facility in the world and the largest
solar plant of any kind outside of California
• Facility may be the first hybrid facility in the world to connect a solar
facility to an existing combined-cycle power plant
• Provides 75 megawatts of solar thermal capacity
• Designed to produce an average of 155,000 MWh of electricity
annually
• The expected reduction of system-wide green-house gas emissions is
projected to be approximately 2.75 million tons over a 30-year
period

• Admit Steam In LP Circuit
• Admit Steam Into Cold Reheat
• Admit Steam Into Hot Reheat
• Admit Steam Into HRSG HP
Circuit Between Evaporator
and Superheater
• Admit Main Steam
The most efficient use
of solar energy is
displacing saturated
steam production at
the highest pressure.
The least efficient use
of solar energy is
feedwater preheating
and steam superheating

STEAM ADMISSION LOCATIONS DRIVEN BY
SOLAR TECHNOLOGY
• Trough Steam Admission Points:
• LP, Cold Reheat, HP Steam Between Evap and
Superheater
• Power Tower Steam Admission Points:
• Could be same as trough, but also allows higher
temperature admissions to Hot Reheat or Main Steam
• Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector
• LP, Cold Reheat
Because parabolic trough systems are more
mature commercially and technically.

facility, by the characteristics / capabilities of the
existing steam cycle and equipment can become
overriding considerations

TYPICAL FEEDWATER EXTRACTION
LOCATIONS
• Boiler Feed Pump (BFP) Discharge
• HP Economizer Exit with Booster Pump (A unique
booster pump may be needed to overcome the
additional pressure drop on the HTF water / steam side)
Extraction point can impact the feedwater
temperature further influencing the size of the
solar field

• In this design there were (3) vessels for each GT / HRSG grouping;
• Preheater
• Steam generator (this vessel)
• Superheater

SOLAR RESOURCE INTERMITTENCY
• Thermal lag time in solar fields is large, 30 minutes or more, due to
the large volume of Heat transfer fluid (HTF) and variable HTF flow
• Cloud cover events result in changing HTF flow as the solar field
responds to control HTF outlet temperatures
• As areas of the solar field see varying levels of cloud cover and the
duration of the cloud passage is a variable, the degree the power
plant output is impacted is dependant on the magnitude of these
events
• Plants operating in regions with frequent cloud cover should
consider these impacts into the design to mitigate operational
impacts and to maximize daily solar utilization
19
Eskom CSP Workshop

IMPACT OF CLOUD COVER ON SOLAR
STEAM GENERATION (SSG) OPERATION
• These events can lead to a shut-off of the solar steam
generator train(s) (SSGs) if the HTF temperature falls
near or below the saturation temperature of the steam
supply generator (SSG) evaporators
• Unlike stand-alone solar plants, the steam pressure of
the SSG is driven by the operating load of the CC plant
CTGs, not the amount of steam that could be produced
if the evaporator was free to slide in pressure

SUMMARY
• Hybrid Solar thermal has been applied on large scale
basis at an existing combined cycle facility
• The concept has proven to be operationally acceptable
• Application at existing coal or oil-fired facilities is
technically feasible
• Designs must consider the steam cycle, where addition
of solar generated energy is physically possible, as well
as the required temperature and pressure requirements
of the cycle
