Concentrating solar thermal power plants

This is an opportunity that opens. Human nature being what it is, it would be surprising if there were not attempted.

I haven 't seen it on accomplishing Spain.

Conventional solar PV but, I have ca below the elbow:

1 MW solar park combined with greenhouse crops. Nice concept.

and also a park 1.3 MW rooftop.

exactly!
and the text emphasizes reduced evaporation by half, it should interest all desert regions. On a large scale it could even be local climatic changes, such lowering of the T ° or return some rain.

Giant...!

A good incentive should be exemption from taxes on the whole sector of renewable energies ... (no VAT charged on panels, etc.). On the grounds that if there were to be a nuclear accident would cost vastly more than the ridiculous loss of the amount of VAT (in comparison).

We can always dream...

The ALSOLEN designs and manufactures indeed thermodynamic solar power plants of medium power (-20 MW) using Fresnel mirrors.
It is based both on the technological basis of the CEA Liten as those of subsidiaries Alcen Group.

These use oil as a coolant. This oil at 300 ° C and transfers its thermal energy to an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) which by actuating a turbine, generates electricity.

The originality of thermodynamic solar plants ALSOLEN consists among others in a design incorporating a maximum of fabrications about the place of installation, reduced and easy maintenance and a long life. A thermal storage is integrated which is inserted in a complete cycle of electrical smart grid type with the appropriate use of waste heat, for example for desalination of sea water.



A solar power plant of high power (50 MWe and above) called ALSOLEN SUP is at an advanced stage of development. Technology ALSOLEN SUP directly generate superheated steam 450 ° C and will be equipped also with a thermal storage capacity.

300 450 ° C to ° C it seems a little bit to keep production capa in night cycle and eventually resume the following day completely overcast!

But indeed, it shows that there would not necessarily be a need to go to North Africa to extract enough heat in a "direct diurnal" cycle without a long period of storage. Is that where maybe deep geothermal energy could possibly help ...?

This is where, perhaps, deep geothermal energy could possibly help ...?

Dede missing you already? Confess!

Geothermal I know, but "Dede"This is what discipline already?

Morocco seeks to be solar energy leader

Morocco to build a thermal concentrating solar power plant at Ouarzazate 160 MW, with Saudi capital. 1 billion $ for this project.
1ére end of this phase end 2014

Following carry the project MW 500

In September, the project Took Reviews another step forward When A consortium led by the Saudi International Company for Water and Power Was Awarded a $ 1 trillion contract to build a 160MW Concentrated solar power plant at Ouarzazate.

That's the first stage of the Ouarzazate project. Work on the plant is to start before the end of the year and shoulds be operational by the end of 2014.

Mustapha Bakkoury, chairman of Morocco's Solar Energy Agency, says the first course was 500MW solar complex at the southern frontier town of Ouarzazate shoulds be completed by 2015.

Details on the project post above.

Ouarzazate solar complex
Saudis in the first tranche

After pushing the suspense at its worst for months, Mustapha El Bakkouri, CEO of MASEN (Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy), has finally unveiled the winning consortium that won the tender related to the design, construction , operation and maintenance of the first phase of the Ouarzazate solar complex. And Saudi group is the "International Company for Water and Power" (ACWA) who was selected for the realization of this major project. This consortium is formed of the Saudi leader ACWA Power International up to 95% of Aries IS and TSK EE, at the height of 5% remaining. Among 3 consortia who stayed in contention for this market (there Abeinsa Ingeniera construction, Enel SpA and International Compagny for Water and Power (Acwa Power International) MASEN retained the consortium led by the Saudi company, thanks to the importance of technical offers, and also because it is the best bid in terms of price, according to Mustapha El Bakkouri, during a press briefing on Monday in Rabat. Indeed, ACWA Power International proposed an attractive rate. the price rush hour is estimated at 1,62 DH per kWh at the start of operation, a differential of almost 21% over the next offer. This rate will be fixed later through a price change of formula. the chief executive of MASEN clear its satisfaction with the results of this tender and the success of the first auction. "the results of the tender are very satisfactory, thanks to the quality and professionalism the successful bidder, as well as to the proposed price.

...........
The total investment cost of this first phase is estimated at one billion dollars.

China's first solar tower

No doubt, we are in China! Between Beijing and the Great Wall stands the first Chinese solar thermal tower, "Beijing Badaling Solar Power Tower". 119 meters high, surrounded by a field of heliostats of 10 000 m2, it produces electricity - good weather - 9 since last August. This is an experimental tower, nothing more, built by the Institute of Electrical Engineering, which depends on the Chinese Academy of Sciences, near the capital because it is more convenient. The "true" thermodynamic solar power plants will be built rather west of the country, where sunshine is much better. This achievement testifies to the interest of China to control all solar technologies - not only photovoltaics.
