China’s largest molten salt solar thermal power plant is situated in Dunhuang, northwest China’s Gansu Province. By receiving sunlight and heating up the molten salt, it can constantly generate electricity. The power station generates 390 million kilowatts of electricity per year, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 350,000 tonnes. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2021-08-02/China-s-largest-super-mirror-power-plant-in-60-seconds-12pcMmUIjCw/index.html
Abengoa, the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the infrastructure, energy and water sectors, has participated one more year in the benchmark event for the Chinese solar thermal industry, CSP Plaza, this being one of the most important in the country. This year, the event has focused on carbon neutrality, that …
Solar Field – HTF – Power Block Commissioning Since September to December 2020, commissioning of Urat Solar Field – HTF – Power block was performed, achieving 100% of steam turbine load while operating close to the winter solstice. The key factors to reach such a reduced schedule were the following: Engineering Phase: Basic Engineering review …
The molten-salt concentrated solar power plant is located in Dunhuang, northwest China’s Gansu Province. The 100MW power plant, also called the “super mirror power plant”, works by using 12,000 mirrors that concentrate the sunlight onto a receiver at the top of a solar tower, which then heats the molten salt. It is designed to generate …

The German solar engineering consultancy schlaich bergermann partner (sbp) supplied the EuroTrough solar collector for the 100MW Urat CSP project in Inner Mongolia, the largest commercial parabolic trough project in China. The Urat project was developed and realized as part of the first round of the Chinese renewable energy demonstration plan and was constructed by …
China, like America or Australia, is a place where things come in big helpings. The country is home to the world’s largest radio telescope, dam and wind farm project, to name but a few records. So it is hardly any surprise that China has big plans for CSP, too. At Pacific Green Solar Technologies, we …

Recently, Delingha 50MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Plant, constructed by Zhejiang SUPCON SOLAR Technology Co., Ltd. (SUPCON SOLAR), has passed complete technical assessment of Fichtner, a German independent engineering consultancy company. In the assessment report, Fichtner considers the design of the plant corresponds to state-of-the-art design of similar plants in the world, the self-developed heliostat and control system and other core …
The operation records show that the highest molten salt temperature at the outlet of the receiver reached 565℃, and the maximum output power of the turbine generator reached 50.12MW. All subsystems were running stably. This project is co-invested by HYDROCHINA and POWERCHINA Northwest Engineering Co., Ltd (PCNWE), and constructed by PCNWE (EPC contractor). SUPCON SOLAR …
