Along with photovoltaic solar energy and wind energy, there is another renewable technology that takes advantage of our main energy resource, the sun, to produce electricity: solar thermoelectric, thermosolar or concentrated solar power. Its operating principle is based on the use of mirrors that concentrate the sun’s radiation to obtain steam, which is then directed [...]
Heineken Spain and Engie Spain have built the largest solar thermal plant for industrial use in Europe, a completely pioneering innovation in Spain that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, wanted to see firsthand by attending the inauguration ceremony held this Saturday in Seville. and in which Etienne Strijp, president of Heineken Spain, also [...]
Heineken España y Engie España han construido la planta termosolar de uso industrial más grande de Europa, una innovación completamente pionera en nuestro país que el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, ha querido conocer en primera persona asistiendo al acto de inauguración celebrado este sábado en Sevilla y en el que también han participado Etienne [...]
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology has come a long way since its inception. The history of this innovative technology can be traced back to ancient times when civilizations harnessed the power of the sun for various purposes. However, it was not until the 19th century that concentrated solar power started to gain traction as a [...]
Molten Salt Trough Collector Joint Connection Test Platform will be Built in Ali Tibet On March 6, POWERCHINA Zhongnan Engineering Corporation Limited released the public announcement of the procurement results of the molten salt trough collector joint connection test platform for CGN Ali 50MW CSP & 100MW PV Project, whose winning supplier is Hunan Industrial [...]
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Defined Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is a rapidly growing form of solar energy that harnesses the power of the sun to generate thermal energy and electricity. It uses mirrors to concentrate and focus sunlight onto a specific area, where it is converted into heat. CSP systems use various technologies, including parabolic [...]
James McKenzie believes that “concentrator solar power” could be the answer to our environmental woes. The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in Nevada uses thousands of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a tank of water at the top of a tower, with the resulting steam being used to drive turbines.

Engineers India (EIL), a government-run company, has issued a tender inviting bids from domestic and foreign companies that supply Concentrated Solar Technology (CST) systems for balance of project services. The bidding process closes on March 7, 2023, and bids will be opened on March 9. The invitation is open to bidders who are technology licensors [...]
El bajo precio del ministerio y la incertidumbre de conexión retrasan la instalación de una nueva termosolar, que en 2025 debería ser el doble de la actual según el PNIEC. La generación de energía con tecnología termosolar lleva una década estancada en España. No se ha instalado un solo megavatio (MW) nuevo desde 2013 y [...]
El Libro azul sobre la industria de CSP de China 2021 presenta detalles actuales sobre el rendimiento de los proyectos actuales de energía solar de concentración (CSP) en China y el plan de ampliación a medida que China aumenta su porcentaje general de energía renovable en la red. El Libro Azul incluye información muy detallada [...]
