Solar Steam Power Tower Manufacturer

What is a solar tower receiver?

The solar tower receiver developed by Aalborg CSP is a state-of-the-art technology for the production of saturated and superheated steam within the CSP power plant. As the heart of the solar plant, the central receiver converts the concentrated solar energy into high temperature steam to produce green-electricity.

Why should you choose Siemens Energy steam turbines?

Our industrial steam turbines are designed for easy constructability, fast start-up and economical operation. Siemens Energy steam turbines are the most often used power generation product in solar thermal power plants. Our tailored steam turbines are reliably operating in all common concentrated solar power (CSP) plant types.

What is a Gemasolar Thermosolar plant?

Due to the success of Solar Two, a commercial power plant, called Solar Tres Power Tower, was built in Spain in 2011, later renamed Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant. Gemasolar's results paved the way for further plants of its type.

How much power does a solar thermal power plant produce?

Examples for the regimes of operation for a solarthermal power plant, with a power output of 50 MW: As market leader in industrial steam turbines, we command a comprehensive product portfolio for solar thermal plants, covering the full range from 1.5 MW to more than 250 MW.

What is a steam turbine generator?

Steam turbine generator sets convert solar energy into electricity. Instrumentation and controlls help to make optimal use of every single sun beam. We equipped more than 70 CSP plants all over the world and we are the market leader in that field.

Who built the first concentrated solar plant?

Professor Giovanni Francia (1911–1980) designed and built the first concentrated-solar plant, which entered into operation in Sant'Ilario, near Genoa, Italy in 1968. This plant had the architecture of today's power tower plants with a solar receiver in the center of a field of solar collectors.
