Brazil’s Eletrosul to test Concentrated Solar Power technology

Brazil's Eletrosul will trial concentrating solar power (CSP) technology via a 250-kW project in the town of Caputera, the company, which is controlled by state-run energy group Eletrobras, said on Friday. The BRL-16.5-million (USD 4.4m/EUR 3.8m) project is supported by the Research and Development Programme of Brazil's power sector [...]

Evolution of concentrated solar power technology

On the occasion of the recent acquisition by Grupo T-Solar of two Solar Thermal power plants with parabolic trough technology, which represents an aggregation of 100 new MW of management, we started an examination of this other type of solar energy. SOME ASPECTS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY SO THE COMPANY BETS [...]

Concentrated Solar Power Sparks Jobs, Technology, Investment in Morocco

Concentrated Solar Power, CSP, is huge in Morocco. Literally, it’s huge. Panels almost the size of tennis courts stretch across acres of desert at the 4 Noor plants in Ouarzazate, providing enough power to light up Marrakesh at night. Learn how it’s done, what it means to the Moroccan economy [...]

CSIRO sells concentrated solar power technology to China

Australia's solar heliostat technology will be used for concentrating solar thermal (CST) electricity generation in China.In continued emphasis on mitigation and adaptation, CSIRO has partnered with Chinese company Thermal Focus, following China's announcement to produce 1.4 GW of CST by 2018, and 5 GW by 2020. This would double the [...]

Understanding Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology

Among various solar energy technologies, one is referred to as concentrated solar power, or concentrating solar power. The acronym CSP applies to either. Worldwide CSP systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a small area. The concentrated heat is [...]

Lark Energy nets patent for new concentrated solar power technology

Lark Energy has secured a UK patent for a new renewable solar thermal technology to create steam for industrial processes. The technology uses a Fresnel lens to concentrate solar irradiation, which in turn heats tubes containing water. The resulting steam is then collected for use in applications that would otherwise [...]
