To constitute a solar thermal power generation system using a heat transfer medium of high heat resistance.
This solar energy tower system 10 is provided mainly with a low-temperature storage tank 12, a solar heat collector 14, a heliostat 16, a high-temperature storage tank 18, and an energy conversion system 20. The heat transfer medium is stored in the low-temperature storage tank 12. The heat transfer medium is forcibly fed to the solar heat collector 14, when required, and is heated by solar radiation reflected from a plurality of areas on the heliostat 16. The heat transfer medium is forcibly fed to the high-temperature storage tank 18, when heated to a prescribed temperature, and stored until required. The heated heat transfer medium is forcibly fed to the energy conversion system 20 to generate power. The temperature of the heat transfer medium from which heat energy is removed gets low abruptly when the heat transfer medium passes the heat exchange (energy conversion) system 20, and the heat transfer medium is fed back to the low-temperature storage tank 12. The heat transfer medium is recycled (reused) in the solar energy tower system 10 of closed cycle.
