Impact
MinWaterCSP will increase technology performance by:
- introducing dry/wet hybrid cooling systems
- developing compact heat exchanger technology based
on wire structure surfaces - introducing treatment of used mirror cleaning water
- recycling of waste water streams
Technology performance improvement has the following impacts:
- reducing cooling system capital and operating costs
- increasing net power output and saving water
- expanding CSP technology to locations with
limited water supply - reducing dependency on fossil fuels and making
CSP more attractive for investors - reducing impact on the environment during the entire life-cycle
- saving material by using novel wire structure heat
