Absolicon gets grant for solar thermal plant in Sweden
The Swedish Energy Agency has made a EUR-800,000 (USD 877,000) grant to Absolicon Solar Collector AB for what the latter says will be Europe’s largest solar thermal field for district heating with small concentrated parabolic troughs. Absolicon’s founder Joakim Byström. Photographer: Lars Wahlström The project in question will be realised at a site in the
Concentrated Solar Power in Cyprus
Homeowners and businesses in Cyprus showed growing interest in solar thermal technology over the last two years. Collector area additions on the island increased by 5 % in 2018 and by 24 % in 2019 after a small decline in 2017. The growth in collector capacity was the result of an overall good economy and
La termosolar Cerro Dominador, la primera de Chile y Latinoamérica, iza e instala su receptor solar a 220 metros de altura
Se trata de uno de los últimos hitos de la construcción del proyecto termosolar que ejecutan Acciona y Abengoa en el desierto de Atacama (Chile) y que es propiedad de EIG Global Energy Partners.Con un peso de 2.300 toneladas, esta pieza de alta complejidad concentrará la radiación solar proyectada desde los 10.600 heliostatos que rodean
IIT-M researchers develop low cost Solar Parabolic Trough Collector for use in desalination, space heating, space cooling
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) have developed a low cost Solar ‘Parabolic Trough Collector’ (PTC) system for concentrating solar energy with industrial applications in areas such as desalination, space heating and space cooling, among others. This indigenously designed and developed system was lightweight with high energy efficiency under Indian various climatic and
Researchers, industry partner to trial solar thermal energy to enhance comminution
The Coalition for Energy Efficient Comminution (CEEC), a global non-profit funded by mining companies, have partnered with the University of Adelaide’s Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources (IMER) to trial the use of solar thermal energy to enhance comminution. Comminution is the process by which solid materials are reduced to smaller average particle size by
Tecnología Fresnel para abaratar los costes en la industria del corcho
Un equipo de ingenieros del Instituto del Corcho, la Madera y el Carbón Vegetal de Cicytex (Centro de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas de Extremadura) está trabajando en la validación de un prototipo basado en la tecnología Fresnel de media temperatura para optimizar energéticamente el proceso de cocción de corcho en la industria preparadora.
