Joint Activities of CSP projects under Horizon 2020 Call “Low Carbon Energy - CSP” The European Union is funding several approaches to minimize water consumption in CSP plants and to make CSP technology more efficient. A group of Horizon projects agreed to communicate...

The MinWaterCSP concortium met in Rome to discuss the activities and achievements after 18 months of development and implementation. In July 2017 the MinWaterCSP partners disucssed the interfaces between the workpackage activities and results as well as the results...

Technology  background The hybrid dephlegmator technology for air-cooled condensers, incorporating deluge cooling, is developed during the MinWaterCSP project. Air-cooled condensers are part of the steam cycle of a CSP plant and the purpose of added deluge cooling in...

Large diameter axial flow fans find application in forced or induced draft air-cooled condensers such as those used in CSP plants. These are large fans (external diameter 7m-10m) that are requested to process high flow rates operating at low pressure rise, and are...

"Water usage requirements for CSP plants " - a joint survey from the H2020 projects WASCOP and MinWaterCSP. As part of our ongoing projects WASCOP and MinWaterCSP concerning water savings for CSP plants we would like to invite CSP plant operators and owners to...

The MinWaterCSP project has the ambition to ensure that project results are developed in a way that their use beyond the project is maximized. Project results shall be of benefit, create business opportunities for the project partners and make it to the market. For...

The MinWaterCSP project partners address the challenge of significantly reducing water consumption at CSP plants, while maintaining a high efficiency of the solar plant. To reach these targets measurement devices to assess the cleanliness of the solar collector field...

MinWaterCSP partners met for their project meeting in Bochum, Germany, from 25th -  26th January 2017. During the two-day meeting at the premises of Kelvion Holding GmbH the work packages leaders presented the status of the implementation and they discussed with the...
