Groundbreaking of 5 MW micro CSP plant in Hawaii

摘要

At the end of October the Kalaeloa Solar One CSP project broke ground. The 5 MW plant will be equipped with SopoNova parabolic trough collectors from the Hawai-ian company Sopogy. The system uses a high temperature energy cycle and works at tem-peratures of about 200℃. The collectors are much smaller than collectors used in the com-mercial plants in Spain and the southwest US. Sopogy expects that they can produce energy at grid parity. In Hawaii this would be around 26 US-Ct/kWh.
