ABSTRACT
Solar energy is the most available, clean and inexpensive source of
energy among the other renewable sources of energy. This work deals with
experimental steady to determent the performance of solar
tower steam production for power generation. Designed and fabricated of a solar
tower, consist of a central receiver tank (0.4 m × 0.6 m × 1.0 m) and 150 heliostat
mirrors arranged around it. The central tank was made of galvanized steel. Each
heliostat consisted of two (0.5 m × 0.5 m) mirrors. The results of this
work produce steam at temperature 110 °C. Large steam quantity could be obtained when using large scale
experimental. The results of the work give good indication for application of
solar energy to produce power in Iraq.
KEYWORDS
Solar central tower, heliostat, steam generation, concentration system.
