Australian concentrated solar power (CSP) specialist Vast Solar plans to develop a hybrid project that comprises a 30 MW CSP facility with 10 hours of storage and a 20 MW PV plant, and to make this happen it needs to secure $75 million. The company said it was already working with ASX-listed financial services firm …
With the rise of China concentrated solar power (CSP) industry, especially after the launch of 1st batch of 20 demonstration projects in the year of 2016, an increasing number of Chinese local companies have been entering such an emerging new energy market, trying to get some share of this “big cake”. As CSP Focus gets …
The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan foresees that wind energy will go from an installed power of 22,925 MW in 2015 to 50,528 MW in 2030, and solar photovoltaic from 4,854 MW to 36,882 MW, while concentrated solar power goes from 2,300 MW to 7,303 MW. The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (Pniec), …

Which solar energy technology will prevail? Concentrated Solar Power or Photovoltaic? In review of the latest developments in renewable, solar energy technologies one can establish that the answer to this question is rather controversial. In search of recent developments in the US energy industry and global economic and financial markets one can find conflicting evidence …

Protermosolar incorporates the 2018 data to its report and corroborates the importance of concentrated solar power in electrical decarbonization.The balanced distribution between photovoltaic and concentrated solar power would allow to supply the demand also at night and reduce the amount of discharges, all at a lower cost than the current one. The study is based …
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” …
