16 Concentrated Solar Power dealing with key technologies within the solar field Abengoa Solar today The technology Operating principle: Generally speaking, CSP technology is based on solar radiation concentration to produce steam or hot air which could then be used on conventional electric plants. Solar energy capture, which has a relatively low density, is one of the main challenges on the development of solar plants. For concentration, most of the systems use mirrors due to their high reflectivity Oil High pressure water or air Main components Concentrator: Different optics elements as mirrors, concentrate the sun on a point or a line where the receiver is located. Receiver: The receiver collects the concentrated sun rays and transfers the energy to a heat transfer fluid. Evaporator: At the evaporator the heat transfer fluid transfers heat the water that becomes steam Turbine: The steam moves the turbine producing electricity as a conventional cycle. Receiver Steam Electricity Heat transfer fluid Concentrators Evaporador Water Heat 16

17 Storage The most used technology Abengoa Solar today The technology dealing with key technologies within the solar field Power block Operating principle: Two molten salt tanks are used System is charged by taking hot HTF from the solar field and running it through the storage heat exchangers. Simultaneously, cold molten-salt is taken from the cold storage tank and run counter-current through the heat exchangers When electricity is needed, the system simply operates in reverse to reheat the solar HTF, which generates steam to run the power plant. Hybridization The most used technology is ISCC= Integrated Solar Combined Cycle ISCC= Combine cycle + Solar field Operating principle: The heat coming from the solar field is used as extra energy for steam production on the combine cycle. Thereby the fuel is partly substituted by the solar resource 17

18 Abengoa Solar today The technology dealing with key technologies within the solar field Photovoltaic technology Operating principle: When certain materials, called semiconductors, are exposed to solar rays, electrons from the valence band could be excited to the conduction band. The physical structure of the semiconductor creates an electric field which sets the electrons path, thus generating direct electric current. Main components Optics: Different optic elements, such as mirrors, Fresnel lens, etc., concentrate the solar radiation onto a point where the photovoltaic cell is located. Photovoltaic Cell: is the element where the photovoltaic effect takes place, producing direct current. Inverter: Transforms direct current coming from the cell into alternating current. Solar Tracker: In order to enhance the system's efficiency, the solar tracker has the function to orientate the photovoltaic module towards the sun.

21 CSP Technology I Parabolic Trough the Concentrated Solar Power Technology Operating principle: The parabolic troughs are used to track the sun and concentrate sunlight on to the thermally efficient receiver tubes placed in the trough focal line. In these tubes, a thermal transfer fluid is circulated, such as synthetic thermal oil. This oil is then pumped through a series of heat exchangers to produce steam. The steam is converted to electrical energy in a conventional steam turbine generator. Main components: Reflector Absorber tube Tracking system Structure Characteristics: The most mature solar technology Large potential with new heat transfer fluids and direct steam generation Energy could be stored (molten salt) Could be hybridized with fossil fuel (ISCC) 21

22 CSP Technology I Power Tower.. the Concentrated Solar Power Technology.. Dish Stirling Funcionamiento: Calentamiento de un fluido localizado en el receptor. Esta energía es utilizada This energy para is la then generación used de to energía produce por electricity motor o by la the microturbina Stirling engine Características: Characteristics: Operating principle: A circular array of heliostats (2 axis tracking mirror) is used to concentrate sunlight to a central receiver mounted on the top of a tower. A heat transfer medium in this receiver absorbs the highly concentrated radiation and coverts it into thermal energy to be used by a turbine. Main components: Heliostats Tower Receptor Characteristics: High temperatures High yields High temperature tower under development will lead to best efficiency and costs Operating principle: A fluid located in the receptor is heated by the concentrated rays.
