In early 2023, the world’s largest and most efficient solar concentrator was installed in Western India to power a hospital and research center. The impressive construction will produce steam for multiple applications as well as electricity for air conditioners. To maximize irradiance yield, the engineers are aligning the 26-ton concentrator with the path of the sun, utilizing data from the ...
A complete measurement of solar irradiance includes global (GHI), direct (DNI), and diffuse (DHI or DIF) radiation. To accomplish this, a high-quality solar monitoring station typically comprises an automatic sun tracker fitted with instruments to measure these components individually. Depending on the application, long-wave radiation and reflected short-wave radiation may be added to provide the ...
The ability of energy meter manufacturers in SMT technology directly affects the quality of energy meters - What is Mark point?Electricity meter is no longer only the function of electricity metering, with the development of technology and the continuous improvement of the demand for functional performance, the energy meter is super in the direction of multi-function and intelligence. Demand, ...
Summary Thermal energy storage plays a key role in the energy transition process. It makes possible to overcome the intermittence’s obstacle inherent to traditional renewable power generation sources (such as wind or solar), or the mismatch between available energy production and consumer’s demand, solved nowadays by inefficient management of resources, with paid plants on standby ...
Have I ever told you about my love for Morocco? Easily one of my favorite places I’ve ever been to. The aromatic spices, the lovely hospitality, the beauty of the country, and yes, I’ve tried but I cannot make couscous as good as I’ve had there. Add concentrated solar power to this mix, and won’t it just be too good to be true? So yeah, it wouldn’t be incorrect to ...

The energy sector is technology-intensive, and it has passed through several innovation-led transformations in the last two centuries The last 200 years of the history of energy could be characterised, without too much exaggeration, as five or six long periods of disruption and uncertainty, punctuated by moments of stability. The energy sector is technology-intensive, and it has passed through ...
The Cerro Dominador group is working with strong construction partners on its Likana CSP project to cut costs and beat gas plant prices, buoyed by progress at its first plant in Chile, Fernando Gonzalez, CEO of Cerro Dominador, told the CSP Madrid 2019 conference. As developer Cerro Dominador nears completion of Latin America's first CSP plant in Chile, the company is preparing what could be ...
Falling solar, wind costs pressure US coal, nuclear fundamentals Average costs for utility-scale solar plants have fallen by around 7% in the last 12 months, increasing the competitiveness of solar facilities against existing conventional U.S. plants, Lazard consultancy said in its 'Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis Version 13.0' report, published November 7. Lazard estimates ...
Fire stops building work at Cerro Dominador in Chile A fire broke out Tuesday at the 110 MW Cerro Dominador CSP project, currently under construction in Chile's Atacama desert, the developer said on Twitter. The fire was spotted at 20:00 local time Tuesday at the top of the 250-meter receiver tower, development company Cerro Dominador, a subsidiary of EIG Global Energy Partners, said. By ...
Modular CSP developer Vast Solar sees Australia's mining sector as the greatest deployment opportunity before wind and PV growth creates wholesale market openings, Craig Wood, CEO of Vast Solar, told New Energy Update. Vast Solar's quest to build Australia's first large-scale CSP plant could soon be boosted by new offtake contracts with the mining sector. The developer is currently in talks ...
Egypt advances plan for five new CSP plants The Egyptian government and Cairo-based Smart Engineering Solutions are moving ahead with a plan to build five CSP plants for a total capacity of 250 MW, Egyptian media reported earlier this month. Smart Engineering Solutions plans to select the preferred technology supplier from a shortlist of 16 companies by the end of November, Osama Kamal, the ...
The developer of the world's first commercial beam-down CSP plant predicts a four-fold hike in thermal efficiency for a larger 200 MW plant. As CSP developers seek new ways to cut costs, a new 50 MW beam-down tower plant in China will provide valuable insights into an emerging CSP technology. Developed by BCP Solar Technology (known in China as Xinchen Solar), the RMB 1.8 billion ($255 ...
Morocco extends tender deadline for 230 MW Noor Midelt II project The Moroccan Sustainable Energy Agency (Masen) has extended the tender deadline for the 230 MW Noor Midelt II CSP-PV project by a "few additional weeks" to later this month, Moroccan media reported October 9. The Noor Midelt II tender was launched in July and developers originally had until September 16 to submit their project ...
The ground-breaking 110 MW Cerro Dominador CSP plant could start commissioning by end of 2019 and the fund-owned developer is studying larger projects at three other sites in northern Chile, Francisco Vizcaino, Project Director at Cerro Dominador, told New Energy Update.
