Two main concerns exist within industrial forced draft air-cooled condensers (ACCs) in relation to concentrated solar power (CSP) plant performance. The first being that of excessive auxiliary power consumption. The second being underperformance during adverse...
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants use solar irradiation as a heat source, in a Rankine-type cycle, to produce electricity. Locations that provide optimal solar conditions for CSP plants are generally also characterized by low water availability. Minimizing water...
Mirror cleaning is a major operations and maintenance (O&M) activity in CSP power plants and their optimization is key in reducing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of such systems. This optimization refers to labor as well as water consumption, especially in...
People who have to survive years of drought would certainly appreciate some of the rainfall that other regions of the world receive or in general to have more water resources available. That’s why ENEXIO and 12 further organizations are partnering within...
The RAISELIFE project on “Raising the Lifetime of Functional Materials for Concentrated Solar Power Technology” has contributed to the MinWaterCSP Conference in Marrakech in April this year. Raiselife and MinWaterCSP partner Anna Heimsath has invited...
