Solar Field – HTF – Power Block Commissioning Since September to December 2020, commissioning of Urat Solar Field – HTF – Power block was performed, achieving 100% of steam turbine load while operating close to the winter solstice. The key factors to reach such a reduced schedule were the [...]
The molten-salt concentrated solar power plant is located in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province. The 100MW power plant, also called the "super mirror power plant", works by using 12,000 mirrors that concentrate the sunlight onto a receiver at the top of a solar tower, which then heats the molten salt. [...]
The German solar engineering consultancy schlaich bergermann partner (sbp) supplied the EuroTrough solar collector for the 100MW Urat CSP project in Inner Mongolia, the largest commercial parabolic trough project in China. The Urat project was developed and realized as part of the first round of the Chinese renewable energy demonstration [...]
China, like America or Australia, is a place where things come in big helpings. The country is home to the world’s largest radio telescope, dam and wind farm project, to name but a few records. So it is hardly any surprise that China has big plans for CSP, too. At [...]
Recently, Delingha 50MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Plant, constructed by Zhejiang SUPCON SOLAR Technology Co., Ltd. (SUPCON SOLAR), has passed complete technical assessment of Fichtner, a German independent engineering consultancy company. In the assessment report, Fichtner considers the design of the plant corresponds to state-of-the-art design of similar plants in the world, the self-developed heliostat and [...]
The operation records show that the highest molten salt temperature at the outlet of the receiver reached 565℃, and the maximum output power of the turbine generator reached 50.12MW. All subsystems were running stably. This project is co-invested by HYDROCHINA and POWERCHINA Northwest Engineering Co., Ltd (PCNWE), and constructed by [...]
The 10th CSP Focus, which takes place in China, brings together more than forty global speakers from the concentrated solar power sector with the aim of sharing information and promoting the expansion of the use of solar thermal energy. Gonzalo Martín, general secretary of Protermosolar, is one of the [...]
On Sep. 29, 2020, Mr. Jianxiang Jin, the president and chief engineer of Supcon Solar announced the yearly electricity generation number of Supcon’s 50 MW solar tower plant in Delingha through China Solar Thermal Alliance. “From July 26, 2019 to July 25, 2020 ( which is consistent with the Grid [...]
The China Dunhuang Dacheng 50MW molten salt linear Fresnel CSP project plant has now officially begun commercial operation on June 19, 2020. To celebrate the occasion of commercial operation of the first ever molten salt Fresnel CSP occasion, the developers and contractors held a commissioning ceremony. First in the [...]
Panda Green Energy Group plans to develop a 1,000 MW hybrid project in China that combines solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal power generation with energy storage and hydrogen production. The company has entered into a memorandum of cooperation for the CNY-10-billion (USD 1.41bn/EUR 1.25bn) project with the local government [...]
As one of China first batch of 20 demonstration Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) projects, Shouhang Yumen 100 MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Project is currently well prepared to start construction. Early-stage documents have been approved, and the optimization work of receiver tower design is to be completed, the tower [...]
Northwest Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd (NWEPDI) signed contract with Shouhang to be the engineer for Shouhang Yumen 100 MW Molten Salt Tower Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Project. NWEPDI will be responsible for the survey and design work for the 100 MW Tower solar thermal project owned and developed [...]
