This article introduces the three kinds of solar thermal power systems existing in the world, and analyzes the key technologies affecting the continuous and stable running of solar thermal power plant (STPP). According to the fact that STPP can't operate stably and continuously, the article puts forward a new running mode with an auxiliary boiler. The auxiliary boiler plays three roles in the system, which is stable combustion, reheat and acting as a heat source.
