Direct Steam
Generation in the absorber pipes of parabolic trough solar collectors -
the so-called DSG process - is a promising option for the cost reduction of
solar power plants. Applying this type of collectors could considerably
reduce the electricity production cost of these solar thermal power plants. |
The INDITEP Project
is based on the experience and knowledge gathered by the Partners in the
DISS project and it is the logical continuation of DISS. The technical
feasibility of the DSG technology has already been experimentally proven
in DISS-phase II. In order to integrate the DSG technology into the
energy market, the INDITEP project focuses on the following four main
work packages:
|
|
 |
Engineering design of a
first 5MWe pre-commercial DSG power plant
|
|
|
Development of advanced
components to enhance the competitiveness of the DSG technology
|
|
|
Qualification of key
components and operation procedures for DSG power plants |
|
|
Socio-economic research on
the DSG technology. |
|
|
Test facility for direct steam generation on the "Plata
Forma Solar de Almeria" - Spain |
|
We like to express our thanks to the
European Commission for subsidizing this project within the 6th
Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and
Demonstration. |
