Main achievements within ARDISS (Advanced Receiver for Direct Solar Steam production in parabolic trough solar power plants) project.

摘要

ARDISS project is financed by the EU Joule II programme (50percent) and by the partners (CIEMAT, ZSW, CONPHOEBUS and INETI). It is aimed at the development of an Advanced Receiver for Direct Solar Steam production in parabolic trough solar power plants. ARDISS started in December 1994 and will last until February 1997. DISS (Direct Solar Steam) process has been identified as the most promising development to speed up the commercialiation of the solar powered electricity production. The goal of the ARDISS project is to analyze the technical options of the DISS process and to develop a receiver fulfilling the requirements of the DISS process. For doing this, the most promising component developments that have been made in the last years have been integrated and in particular a Second Stage Concentrator (SSC) receiver, a way of increasing concentration without penalizing collector efficiency and of improving the controllability of the DISS process.
