Experience with the First Commercial Solar Power Tower in the World and Future Solar Thermal Power Perspectives

摘要

On 30 March 2007 Abengoa Solar inaugurated the first commercial European concentrating solar power (CSP) plant, the “Planta Solar 10” (PS10). The 11 MW facility is the first of a total of 300MW CSP plants at the company’s Solar Platform of Sanlúcar la Mayor Solar, the world’s largest solar thermal generation and R&D complex located on the outskirts of Seville in the South of Spain. rnThe mission of Abengoa Solar is to promote, design, build, and operate solar power plants from 1 to 250MW capacity in the entire sunbelt of the world. In support of these objectives, Abengoa Solar New Technologies conducts extensive R&D in Spain and has achieved major advances in key solar thermal areas. Along with its sister business groups, Abengoa Solar can offer all services from design and development, over engineering, procurement and turn-key construction to life long operation and maintenance. has undertaken projects in several countries. Further to the PS10 project, the Abengoa group is constructing now the 20 MW PS20 solar tower plant, the 50MW Solnova-1 and Solnova-3 parabolic trough plants and the world’s first Integrated Solar Combined Cycle Systems (ISCCS), a 155 MW solar hybrid plant in Algeria and a 450MW solar hybrid plant in Morocco.
