From this summer and onwards, thousands of people travelling across the Great Belt in Denmark will get to see renewable energy in full bloom in the shape of a 11,733 m² solar field. The Danish renewable energy specialist, Aalborg CSP, has landed the project and will be delivering an 8 MWth solar district heating plant …
SolarReserve has failed to secure in time funds for its 150-MW Aurora concentrated solar power (CSP) plant project in South Australia so it plans to sell it to a third party. The announcement was made by the South Australian government on Friday as a confirmation that the project will not go ahead under SolarReserve’s control. …
The Ashalim concentrated solar power and thermal electric power plant in Israel’s Negev Desert is up and running. The state-of-the-art facility is equipped with more than 50,000 computer-controlled heliostats or mirrors, which can track the sun in two dimensions and reflect the sunlight onto a boiler placed on top of a tower measuring 240 m-high …

The world’s initial Concentrated SolarPower (CSP) plants continue to use the legacy steam cycles of conventional thermal plants. But steam cycle is a mature technology with temperature-based efficiency limits, hampering the potential to raise efficiency and lower costs. Consequently, international researchers have investigated a new power cycle, a closed loop supercritical carbon dioxide cycle (s-CO2). …
