Project Overview |
Shouhang Dunhuang 100MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Plant(hereinafter referred to as “the project”) is one of the 1st batch of 20 pilot CSP projects in China and being developed with a steady progress. Belonging to the second phase of Shouhang’s Dunhuang CSP plan (Phase one 10MW completed), the project is the largest molten salt tower CSP plant during construction period in China and its equipped solar field will be the largest one in the world when it’s completed.

Project Participants |
Developer and investor: Beijing Shouhang IHW Resources Saving Technology Company Ltd (Shouhang)
In 2014, Shouhang started commercialized CSP project development and entered into scale industry stage. Shouhang devotes into systematic R&D of concentrator system, receiver, thermal energy storage system, heat exchange system and thermal electricity integration control system. By now, Shouhang successfully achieved small and middle size testing systems for tower, Parabolic Trough and dish CSP projects.
Main participants and biding situation:
The main raw materials of the project are steel, aluminum product and glass, which are purchased from domestic suppliers by bidding. Core components as heliostat, control device, receiver and air cooling system are provided by Shouhang. Ensival Moret, Flowserve, GE, Siemens and Man are part of the key suppliers of the remaining equipment.
