The feasibility of using more efficient Rankine power blocks in solar power towers (SPTs) with molten salt as the heat transfer fluid has been studied as a method for increasing the global efficiency of these power plants. The temperature and pressure of the main steam and the reheating pressure affect the temperature of the molten salt in the receiver; for temperature increase decreasing the receiver efficiency and increasing the power block efficiency. Therefore, a detailed study of these SPTs has been conducted to determine whether the proposed changes increase the global efficiency of the SPTs.
