DEWA’s NOOR Energy 1 hybrid solar plant is designed to utilize the lasted Space Tube collector, which is designed by Abengoa with 8.2m aperture;
Stellio heliostat, designed by sbp, will be firstly used on commercial Hami 50MW molten salt tower CSP plant in West China;
The new collector Ultimate Trough has been successfully used in Saudi’s Duba1 ISCC project…
Regarding commissioning and O&M, new tries on detecting solar field performance by UAV, and novel inspection, and control strategy for solar field and tower aiming are introduced in the latest CSP projects.
Various innovative components like higher temperature heat receiver, novel solar collector system with higher reflectivity, thermodynamic cycle system with higher efficiency are demonstrating future CSP development trend.
Moreover, creative engineering and application modes also are needed for further exploration.
