Blog #33– ENEXIO presents innovative MinWaterCSP hybrid cooling technology at the Power-Gen International 2018 and launches new cooling system App
Plant owners like to see overall power plant cycle efficiencies at levels achievable with wet-cooling solutions, but at the same time, the increase in pressure on scarce water resources forces dry-cooling solutions to be used more and more, compromising performance....
Blog #32 – 2nd International MinWaterCSP Conference in Stellenbosch offered technical solutions to tackle challenges in CSP plants
After three years of intense work towards the reduction of water consumption in CSP plants, the international MinWaterCSP consortium presented final project results at its 2nd International Conference in Stellenbosch, South Africa. At this occasion, the full-scale...
Blog #31 – HELIOS & CURVE! The new cleaning solutions by ECILIMP for Heliostats and Parabolic Trough
Tower & Parabolic Trough plants are the most common plants worldwide. ECILIMP Termosolar has developed a New Generation of their Cleaning Tools under the MinWaterCSP project (Minimized Water Consumption in CSP plants). This project solution has been entirely...
Blog #30 – Simulation software ColSimCSP: a tool to optimise CSP plant operation
ColSimCSP is a simulation software tool developed at Fraunhofer ISE for dynamic thermal simulations which allows the integration of complex operating strategies. The performance models are based on the two plant layouts namely the indirect integration of the molten...
Blog #29 – Full scale testing in Stellenbosch, South Africa
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...Recent Posts
