Disclosed in the present invention is a steam temperature control method for a solar power tower plant. The method integrates the control of a hot molten salt transfer pump with the control of inlet hot molten salt regulating valves of a superheater and a reheater on the basis of regulating loop control characteristics, so as to effectively mitigate the effect of temperature lag. Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the present application is based on an independent decoupled operating mode for superheated steam and reheated steam temperature regulating loops, so as to effectively meet the power change requirements of turbo-generator units. In addition, the operation of a hot salt pump flow regulating loop is adjusted on the basis of the operating states and variation trends of the superheated steam and reheated steam temperature regulating loops. To organically coordinate the interrelation, a control method based on a regulating valve position and control loop deviation characteristics is provided. The characteristics of a regulating valve position relationship within the superheated steam and reheated steam temperature regulating loops, along with the deviation states and trend information of the regulating loops, are introduced into a unified valve position integrator and a unified monitor, and by means of the unified valve position integrator and the unified monitor, monitoring and determination are performed, so as to adjust the operation of the hot salt p

An embodiment includes two rotating hollow chambers for containing agricultural products, such as beans or nuts, during a roasting session. An array of heliostats concentrates reflected solar radiation onto the surface of each hollow chamber, typically one chamber at a time, while the other chamber is cooling or being serviced. The rotational velocity is controlled to ensure even heating from the solar heliostat array, and temperature and humidity sensors may be used to monitor and control the system. Various actuators control the rotational velocity, the opening or closing of vents or perhaps louvers, the directional pointing of the heliostat array, and the opening of a door to empty the hollow chamber after processing.
