Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is an innovative solar power technology and has been taken by countries like Spain, USA, Dubai, Morocco, South Africa, China and India. With the great expansion of new-built power projects and official support, CSP markets especially in China and Middle East & North Africa (MENA) are booming and creating large number …
Mega-solar projects – large-scale installations capable of producing upwards of hundreds of megawatts (MW) of power – are generating much-needed electricity in countries all over the world. In sunny southern Africa, however, a historic lack of public-private partnerships outside of South Africa and, until recently, Zambia, to develop such projects has left much of the …

Morocco’s status as a global poster-boy for renewable energy was confirmed in May when it signed a $780mn contract to build Noor Midelt, a plant that solves solar energy’s biggest problem: what happens when the sun goes down? The plant, to be built by a French-led consortium, combines two solar technologies to give it daytime …

The concentrated solar power plant, owned by Abengoa, IDC, PIC and the Community Trust, has passed the guaranteed production tests in record time. With a capacity of 100 MW, the solar thermal plant provides clean and sustainable energy even in hours without solar radiation thanks to its molten salts storage system of more than five …
BrightSource Energy designs, develops and deploys concentrated solar power (CSP) technology to produce high-value steam for electric power, petroleum and industrial-process markets worldwide. As one of world leading Concentrated Solar Power Tower technology provider, BrightSource has been developing and providing services to well-known CSP projects globally, three of the typical ones are: 392MW Ivanpah Concentrated …
A multiscale numerical approach is applied to an open volumetric air receiver. A 3D CFD study at the micro-scale (single channel) feeds the meso-scale model. he macro-scale model is a lumped-parameter model of the full receiver. The results from the receiver model are compared with the SolAir200 experiment. Effect of the ARR and heat flux …
Yumen Xinneng 50 MW molten salt tower CConcentrated Solar Power plant is China’s only pilot project taking innovative beam down CSP tower technology and also will be the first large-scale commercial CSP project in the world of this kind. It is expected that No.1-3 Modules will be completed and connected to the grid at the …
Atlantica Yield has signed the purchase of 100 percent of ASI Operations to Abengoa, the company that provides the operation and maintenance services of the Solana and Mojave concentrated solar power plants in the United States. The amount of this transaction, sealed on July 30, is 6 million dollars (5.3 million euros) and the company …
Iron, nickel, alumina and copper mining processes are among the industrial processes that require heat at between 700°C and 1000°C. The advanced concentrated solar thermal (CST) reactors being developed by researchers globally can attain temperatures this high (and higher, up to 1500°C). But CEOs in mining and mineral processing industries are more familiar with fuel …
