Concentrated Solar Power Collectors for District Heat in Northern Europe
Compared to steam turbines based on a water circuit, ORC installations make it possible to recover heat from low-temperature sources available in small-capacity plants. An ORC system can work well in concert with biomass combustion and solar concentrating units. The system was named for its use of an organic fluid characterised by high molecular mass
LINEAR FRESNEL SYSTEMS AND THE FUTURE FOR CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER
Concentrated solar power systems have until recently focused on bulk electricity production, with the main focus on solar towers and trough type collectors. Recent developments have focused on smaller units to supplement thermal power stations and to provide heat for industrial processes. Collectors based on the linear Fresnel reflector design are leading the pack. There
INDUSTRIAL SOLAR HEAT PAYS OFF
More than 500 industrial manufacturers trust solar heat worldwide. SHIP is the acronym for Solar Heat for Industrial Processes and describes systems which provide solar heat in a factory. A collector field heats a process fluid by means of solar radiation and a heat exchanger transfers this heat to a supply system or production process
Using Concentrated Solar Power for Process Heating
Renewable power generation is on the rise worldwide, and in 2015, renewables were, for the first time, responsible for more than 50% of added capacity globally, exceeding fossil fuels and nuclear (1). The heating market lags behind in the adaptation of renewables in general, and this trend holds especially true for industrial process heating. Renewable

I NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CONCENTRATING SOLARTHERMAL TECHNOLOGIES. CONCLUSIONS OF THE ROUND TABLE FOR MEDIUM TEMPERATURE
CONCENTRATED SOLAR Technology Platform organized within the First Symposium on Concentrated Solar Thermal Technology held on 3 and 4 November a round table for medium temperature. These are the conclusions: There is an important niche market for industrial process heat and building heating and cooling systems. Spain needs to maintain its leadership position in concentrating
PDO AND GLASSPOINT SOLAR BREAK GROUND ON CSP FACILITY
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and GlassPoint Solar have broken ground on their landmark solar project ‘Miraah’. The site preparation and grading for the project, located at Amal oil field in southern Oman, began one month ahead of schedule. Miraah, which means mirror in Arabic, will harness the sun’s energy to produce steam used in heavy oil
OPIC PARTNERS WITH SOLARRESERVE AND ACWA POWER TO DEVELOP LANDMARK SOUTH AFRICAN SOLAR ENERGY FACILITY
As part of Secretary John Kerry’s Climate and Clean Energy Investment Forum, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) today signed an agreement with U.S. based energy developer SolarReserve and ACWA Power, recognizing OPIC’s $400 million commitment of debt financing to support the development of the Redstone Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) project in Northern Cape, South
