Siemens steam turbines are the most often used power generation product in solar thermal power plants. Siemens steam turbines are reliably operating in all common concentrated solar power (CSP) plant types. Concentrated solar thermal power is worldwide becoming a more and more important source for power generation. The reasons for this are obvious: The sun …

The record-breaking Dubai 700MW CSP+250 MW PV Hybrid Project developed by ACWA POWER, with Shanghai Electric Group Corporation as EPC, will use the Steam Generation Systems based on header-and-coil technology from Aalborg CSP after signature of a 600 MWe order for delivery of 42 heat exchangers and pressure vessels. The header-and-coil technology from Aalborg CSP …
As one of the first batch of 20 pilot Concentrated Solar Power projects, CSNP Royal Tech Urat 100MW Parabolic Trough CSP Project is the largest trough plant within the pilot projects and the only remaining pilot project located in Inner Mongolia province. Following the first CGN Delingha 50MW parabolic trough CSP project which was connected …
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants initially won their place on the market thanks to government subsidies. Current trends reveal, however, that development efforts have meanwhile pushed this technology in combination with photovoltaic (PV) installations to competitive parity with fossil power generation. Global ordered capacity all steam turbine manufactures, Source: Siemens AG The term “sector coupling” …

U.S. researchers have developed a heat exchanger material for advanced high-temperature Concentrated Solar Power plants that can be manufactured at lower costs than existing materials, project leaders told New Energy Update. Higher-temperature Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant designs have been become a key research area for developers seeking to cut costs and widen market opportunities. …
111 CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) projects with total capacity of 9 GW took part in the application of the 1st batch of 1.349 GW China 20 Concentrated Solar Power pilot projects in September 2016. Till now, two and half years have passed, and three of the 1st batch demonstration projects have been sucessfully connected to …
Slag is the steel industry’s biggest waste byproduct. It could find a use: to cut the carbon emissions from steel production Starting this year, thermal energy researchers in Spain’s Basque Country will test the use of slag as thermal energy storage within the steelmaking process, to cut the use of fossil fuel for heat for …
