“…The solar field at the RAM Pharma pharmaceuticals processing plant in Jordan can be seen in Figure 45. The site uses fuel oil for steam generation, and the Industrial Solar integration feeds into the existing steam line, where the steam supply is controlled through a steam drum (Willwerth et al 2017).…”

“…Water is preheated and partially evaporated within the evaporator. This two-phase flow of liquid and steam flows to the steam drum, where it is separated (Willwerth et al, 2016). The saturated steam moves on to the superheater field, where it is superheated.…”

TSE1 is the first solar thermal power plant operating in Southeast Asia. It was planned by Solarlite GmbH with support of Tiede-& Niemann GmbH, both German based. It is the first power plant with direct steam generation (DSG) concept and superheating in parabolic troughs. The solar field has a nominal power of 19 MW th driving a 5 MW el turbine by superheated steam at 30 bar and 330 °C. During 2010/2011 Solarlite built the solar field, while the later owner and operator Thai Solar Energy (TSE) from Bangkok built the power block, in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. TSE1 is being operated by TSE since January 2012 (Krüger et al., 2012). This publication is based on a study within the KanDis project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, in which an extensive database of records of almost 500 sensors installed in the power plant (solar field and power block) has been investigated. The data have been provided by Solarlite with a time resolution of about 1 minute. Within the KanDis project, a stable operation could be demonstrated (Khenissi et al., 2015, Krüger et al., 2016). Even under the fluctuating irradiance conditions in the rainy season of Thailand, the turbine could be operated well and generate electricity. Evaluation of the operation data has helped to learn more about DSG behaviour. The TSE1 layout and the implemented control strategies were evaluated and strategies for improvement of TSE1 are suggested within this paper. From the experiences with the TSE1 power plant, conclusions could be drawn to improve the layout and control of future DSG plants.

“…As an example, the measured steam drum level data of December 6th in 2015 are shown in Figure 3 The analyzed data have been used to validate the layout calculation. This approach is similar to [2] but in this case applied to a solar process heat plant instead of a power plant.…”
