Abstract: Solar thermal power generation technology is of flexible dispatching mode,and can greatly alleviate the abandon of solar power,and is highly complementary with other renewable energy.Research and scale application of solar thermal power generation technology developed early in America,but started late in China.However,the technology is thriving in China and shows distinguished characteristics from that in America and other countries.After introducing the development of solar thermal power generation technology in America and China in recent years,the characteristics and advantages of applying supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle in solar thermal power generation is analyzed,and its prospect in power generation system is expounded.

Key words: solar thermal power generation, status quo, supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle, renewable energy, solar power abandon, energy storage
