District Heating / Cooling

Concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) is already being used in local heating plants in Denmark. Due to the higher temperatures and the higher efficiency, parabolic troughs are ideally suited to supply therml energy in storage systems. In the near future, parabolic troughs will also be found more frequently in this application in Europe too. Parabolic troughs are particularly suitable in warmer areas to be implemented in so-called district cooling systems. The high efficiency makes this approach economical and is particularly recommended for larger units.
