Solar thermal power generation equipment including wind turbine on the same vertically oriented shaft

Solar thermal power generation equipment comprising:

• a wind turbine which is configured to rotate by receiving wind;
• a compressor which is configured to compress a working medium to generate a compressed medium;
• a heat receiver which is configured to heat the compressed medium by receiving sunlight;
• a turbine which is configured to be driven by the compressed medium heated with the heat receiver;
• a power generator which is configured to perform power generation by driving of the turbine;
• a transmission mechanism which transmits the rotation of the wind turbine to the power generator;
• and
• a tower which supports the wind turbine, the compressor, the heat receiver, the turbine and the power generator,
• wherein the compressor has a compressor rotor which is configured to rotate about a compressor axis extending in a vertical direction, and a compressor casing which covers the compressor rotor,
• the turbine has a turbine rotor which is configured to rotate about a turbine axis extending in the vertical direction, and a turbine casing which covers the turbine rotor,
• the compressor rotor and the turbine rotor are mechanically connected to form a gas turbine rotor,
• the power generator has a power generator rotor which is mechanically connected to the gas turbine rotor, and is configured to rotate about a power generator axis extending in the vertical direction, and a power generator casing which covers the power generator rotor,
• the wind turbine, the compressor, the turbine and the power generator each constitute an array apparatus,
• the plurality of array apparatuses are arranged in the vertical direction,
• the wind turbine has a wind turbine shaft which is configured to rotate about a wind turbine axis extending in the vertical direction, and a blade which is fixed to the wind turbine shaft and is configured to receive the wind to rotate the wind turbine shaft about the wind turbine axis, and
• the wind turbine is disposed at a position lower than the heat receiver, and the wind turbine has a wind turbine radius changing mechanism which is configured to change a wind turbine radius which is a distance from the wind turbine axis to a farthest position in the blade.
