Azelio’s verification project in Morocco has been completed and the first electricity has been produced according to plan: that is, by the end of the year. The verification of Azelio’s solution for the storage and production of sustainable electricity on demand around the clock, is a significant step in the industrialisation of the company. During …
On December 29, 2019, China Power Engineering Hami 50MW Tower Concentrated Solar Power Project was successfully connected to the grid for the first time. The long shaft molten salt pump used in this project is provided by three manufacturers, two imported brands and one domestic brand. The domestic brand long shaft molten salt pump is …
Renewable energy has an important contribution to make in protecting the environment and climate. Solar energy plays a particularly significant role here and has become more widespread in recent years due to photovoltaics. However, this technology does not yet offer an efficient means of energy storage. An alternative is concentrated solar power (CSP) plants with …
The first solar thermal power plant in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region went into operation Sunday night. The 50-megawatt concentrated solar power plant is located in Naomaohu Township, eastern Xinjiang’s city of Hami. Construction of the project began in October 2017 by Energy China. The concentrating solar power project can achieve an annual power …
