On April 28, CGN New Energy (Ali) Co., Ltd issued an announcement on its 150 MW snow-covered plateau «Zero-carbon» light-storage thermal power demonstration project (50MW light-heat part) concentrating heat collection system equipment (re-bidding) of CGN New Energy Ngari Xizang. Project Overview: The proposed site of the project is about 7 km south of Shiquanhe Town, …
All concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies use a mirror configuration to concentrate the sun’s light energy onto a receiver and convert it into heat. The heat can then be used to create steam to drive a turbine to produce electrical power or used as industrial process heat. Concentrating solar power plants can integrate thermal energy …

One conundrum for the two main Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies is how to be both bankable and efficient. Parabolic trough CSP is often considered more bankable, while central tower plants are more efficient. Trough technology is about a decade older than tower and has built up experienced supply chains, making it more bankable, which …
