Competitive SolAr Power Towers (Capture)
May 2015 – July 2020
PROJECT SCOPE
Increase plant efficiencies and reduce LCOE by developing all relevant components for implementing an innovative plant configuration based on a multi-tower decoupled advanced solar combined cycle that increases cycle efficiencies and avoids frequent transients and inefficient partial loads, thus maximizing overall efficiency, reliability as well as dispatchability.
CENER ROLE
- Project management and coordination.
- DSCC – Modular multi-tower decoupled solar combined cycle concept (WP1).
- Solar receiver (WP2), Regenerative heat exchange system (WP3), Solar-driven Brayton cycle (WP4), Solar field (WP5).
- System integration and testing in the relevant environment (WP6)
- Risk analysis (WP7), Dissemination and communication (WP8), Exploitation of results (WP9)
