Since the end of 2005, when it started its first continue producing electricity at night or during large commercial project, Andasol-1, the major cloudy weather, turning a renewable source like solar energy into a dispatchable energy, capable of supplying electricity in line with demand, unlike other technologies such as wind power, which has no storage option. SENER recently won the engineering and construction contract for the solar arrays of three new CSP plants. These are ASTE 1 A and ASTE 1 B, located in Ciudad Real, and Termosolar Soluz Guzmán, in Córdoba, all in Spain. The three plants, using parabolic trough collector technologies with a power of 50 MW each, could be operational by the end of 2012. These three new contracts bring SENER up to a total of 15 thermosolar plants throughout Spain, five of which are currently operational. These plans will have a total installed power of 1 GWe once construction has finished, making SENER the leader in terms of the number of projects. Two of them, Andasol-1 and Gemasolar, have been true milestones for the CSP industry. 4 SENER noticias 40/AUTUMN 2010 Article SENER noticias 40/AUTUMN 2010 5 Article In this page: A story of R&D will supply clean, safe energy to 25,000 homes and optimized thermal Few companies can boast such a long history of reduce CO2 emissions by more than 30,000 tones a storage system in year.

Furthermore, this ability to think ahead joint venture with Cobra, SENER carried out the has enabled the company to train experts in the field engineering, construction, commissioning and of CSP: engineers from various disciplines, who commercial operation monitoring of the plant. This have seen solar projects through from initial design plant used parabolic trough technology, which was to commissioning, also responsible for following up already efficiently used in the USA and had gained their operation, and who today continue to work popularity in the thermosolar market. SENER added a molten salt storage system to this plant, thus extending its operating period by up to 8 hours without solar radiation. Connected to the grid at the end of 2008, it set a global milestone as the first commercial plant with storage capacity. The fulfilling experience with Andasol-1 gave SENER the opportunity to undertake other similar projects, winning 15 contracts in only six years. Gemasolar is another global milestone, as the first commercial plant with central tower and heliostat array technology to include a thermal storage system. With a turbine of less than 20 MW, its production will be similar to that of a 50 MW parabolic trough plant without thermal storage. Overall, Gemasolar NEW RESPONSIBILITIES, NEW obtained in Spain.

Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects: Lessons Learned and its Applications Ildefonso Burgos-Gil, PE, MCE General Manager for Mass Transit Development, Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority, San Juan, PR, USA, [email protected] Abstract The International Transit Studies Program (ITSP) conducts two study missions each year to provide transit managers from across the United States the opportunity to examine public transportation practices in other countries and regions, with the goal of encouraging innovation domestically. The program is sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), funded by the Federal Transit Administration, and managed by the Eno Transportation Foundation. The subject for the 2005 Fall Study Mission was Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects. The mission studied systems in Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Shanghai, China; and Osaka, Japan. As a participant, the author had the opportunity to meet with the managers for the different systems and learn and document the experience. This paper presents a more detailed insight on the author’s assigned studied systems in Barcelona, the way it has been integrated to become an effective transit system, its financial model, the lessons learned and its possible applications in Puerto Rico and elsewhere.

  • Automated Metro, Safer and More Efficient
    Automated Metro, safer and more efficient State-of-the-art technology at your service Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona Barcelona, on the road to automation The Barcelona Metro is on the road to automation. The medium- or long-term perspective is for 43% of the TMB network (70 to 160 kilometres) to be automated. The new lines, such as the L9/L10, have been conceived as automated lines and some of the existing ones will be progressively converted. Following L9/10, which was put into operation as an automated line from the outset, L2 will have to be technologically converted and adopt automated operation, as was recently done with L11. This is because, when it is extended to the airport through the Parc Logístic fork, L2 will share part of the infrastructure with L9. The two lines will require compatible trains and systems to operate jointly on the same infrastructure. The benefits of automation TMB’s commitment to automation is consistent 2) More passengers in less time with its desire to provide the best possible service.

  • Keel Laying Ceremony of the 1,200 Passenger Vessel for Tanzania Designed by SENER
    PRESS RELEASE Keel laying ceremony of the 1,200 passenger vessel for Tanzania designed by SENER Ulsan (South Korea). The keel of the 1,200 passenger vessel designed by the engineering and technology group SENER was recently laid in the Factory No. 2 of POSCO PLANTEC, in Ulsan (South Korea). SENER representatives attended to the keel laying ceremony, which was presided by members of the Zanzibar’s Government, the owner of the vessel. The ship will operate in Northern Mozambique, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Tanga and Mombasa. On behalf of the owner assisted to the ceremony the Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Communications, Dr. Juma Malik Akil; the Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Khamis Mussa Omar; the Principal Secretary of the Second Vice President Office, Dr. Khalid Salum Mohamed; the Director General of the Zanzibar Maritime Authority, Mr. Abdi Omar Maalim; the Captain at the Zanzibar Shipping Corporation, Capt. Abubakar Mzee Ali; and the Senior Planning Officer/Project Manager of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Communications, Mr. Yussuf Mohammed Ali. Also attended to the ceremony representatives from POSCO PLANTEC, Daewoo International and Lloyd’s Register. The scope of the project developed by SENER includes conceptual and classification engineering and the 3D model to extract the production information, and is being developed with SENER’s 3D CAD system FORAN. The design belongs to a specialty well known by SENER due to the recent references of passengers and Ro-Ro vessels, such as “José manuel Entrecanales” and “Murillo” for Acciona, “Martin I Soler” for Balearia, and one ferry for Viking Line.

    2007 IN THE MTA Ten years after the creation of the MTA, this 2007 Report contains many elements of enormous importance and individuality that indicate the order of priorities of the Government of the Gene- ralitat and all associated administrative bodies. In the first place, a review of the 2001-2010 Infrastructure Management Plan (IMP), showed the urgent need for the already begun revision and update. The key financial data is that in 2007, there has been a considerable excess, in absolute terms, of the amount of money allo- cated for the whole period of duration of the IMP. More money, but nevertheless, not yet all the improvement work, and some of this pending work still under discussion or modification. This is the case of Metro line 12. The agreement has been to replace it by extensions to some lines and the construction of a new Cornellà-Castelldefels railway line. It is therefore urgent to have a revised IMP that adapts to this new reality. JOAQuim NADAL I FarrEraS The physical translation of the work included in the IMP is now more than evident in the Councillor for Territorial Policy follow-up map.
