SOLAR POWER CYCLE DESIGN AND SOLAR FIELD ENGINEERING FROM THE COMPANY THAT IS AT THE LEADING EDGE OF PARABOLIC TROUGH TECHNOLOGY

• FLAGSOL has designed the AndaSol plants for Southern Spain, that include 510,120 m² of SKAL-ET solar field and 7.5 hours of molten salt storage. These plants are optimized for economic operation under the Spanish Royal Decree 2818, that grants a 0.12€/kWh premium per solar thermal kWh.

• Our specialized engineering staff has gained long year experience in site identification and feasibility analysis for parabolic trough plants in Brazil, Greece, Jordan, Morocco, Spain, and US. We have developed detailed and sophisticated economic and performance analysis tools for design and optimization of parabolic trough solar fields and  their integration into steam and combined cycles, verified at the parabolic trough plants in California. With this know-how base, we can offer:

• Entire Solar Field Engineering required for the turnkey procurement and erection of the solar field with its collector field, heat transfer system and thermal storage up to the interface with the Balance of Plant of the power block

• Owner’s Project Management for the entire solar plant including both the solar field and the power block

• Specification and quality control of the procurement of all solar field machinery, equipment and services

• Solar Field Erection Project Management including the specification of the assembly procedures, contracting, training and supervision of the assembly teams and quality control of the assembly

• Thermal Storage Project Management including functional specification, contracting, erection supervision and quality control

• Meteo Measurements and Solar Resource Assessment

• Site Qualification and Techno-economic Feasibility Analysis of Parabolic Trough Plants according to IEA and Worldbank/GEF LEC and Incremental Cost Models

• Preparation of documents and applications for construction and installation permits of parabolic trough power plants

• Preparation of documents for the environmental impact assessment of parabolic power plants
