FAQS 4

What are the advantages of solar thermal trough power plants?

Field losses are usually below 10%. Altogether, solar thermal trough power plants can reach annual efficiencies of about 15%; the steam-cycle efficiency of about 35% has the most significant influence. Central receiver systems such as solar thermal tower plants can reach higher temperatures and therefore achieve higher efficiencies.

What is the minimum size of a parabolic trough & solar tower?

The minimum size of parabolic trough and solar tower power plants is in the range of 10 MWe. Below this capacity, installation and O&M costs increase and the system efficiency decreases so much that smaller systems cannot usually operate economically. In terms of costs, the optimal system size is in the range of 50–200 MWe.

What is a parabolic trough power plant?

Parabolic trough power plants are the only type of solar thermal power plant technology with existing commercial operating systems until 2008. In capacity terms, 354 MWe of electrical power are installed in California, and a plenty of new plants are currently in the planning process in other locations.

What is the Solana parabolic trough project?

The 250-megawatt Solana parabolic trough plant near Gila Bend, Arizona uses thermal storage technologies, and provides clean, reliable power to more than 97,000 Arizona Public Service customers. Developed by Abengoa Solar, the project created 1,700 construction jobs and was placed in service October 2013.
