Our system is the world’s first commercial application of such technology, capable of producing power and heat energy around the clock, on demand 24/7. Year of establishment: 2005 No. of employees: 12 Background of the company Following a successful pilot installation in 2006 in Nanjing, China proving the technological concept of being able to solarize a gas-turbine engine, the company is set to erect its first commercial unit, near Eilat by March 2009. Based on currently available data, the AORA system will use less land to generate considerably more usable power and energy, and significantly more revenue at lower installed cost than any near-term solution to solar energy generation available in the world. Technologies & products The system offers a unique modular solution to solar power generation, comprising very small base units (100kWe / 170kW heat) which are linked together like Lego-like pieces into a centrally controlled power plant, tailored to the customers’ needs. When the available sunlight is not sufficient (during cloud cover or at night), the system operates on any alternative fuel sources, thereby guaranteeing an uninterrupted power supply, 24hr/day. Objectives / Target companies Seeking strategic partners for Joint Ventures in Israel and around the world. Back to Index 4 Category: Renewable Energy Sub Category: Solar Energy B R E N MIL L E R E N E R G Y www.bren-energy.com Company profile Brenmiller Energy is an innovative thermo-solar company, providing modular solar steam generation products – the bCell™ System - for power & steam applications. Led by a team comprising of the world’s top-leading experts in renewable thermo-solar energy, the company’s knowledge and expertise are based on years of field experience in building and operating over 500MW of thermo-solar power plants in the US and in Spain. Year of establishment: 2012 No. of employees: 100+ Background of the company Founded in 2012, by Avi Brenmiller, a prominent figure in the Solar Thermal world and former CEO of Siemens CSP and Solel. Our R&D team possesses extensive knowledge and a proven track record in developing ground- breaking solar technologies. The company is innovation-oriented with over 100 people employed, in sub- contracting, in research and development. Examples of projects Our team led and was actively involved in planning, designing, building and operating thermo solar power plants in Spain and in the U.S. supplying over 500MW of electricity. Technologies & products General description: The bCell™ is a continuous solar steam boiler producing 24/7 (upon demand) regulated and controlled steam, at standard turbines conditions (500°c 100 bars). Its main building block is the Energy Center, with a unique heat storage, which acts also as a buffer, to allow both real dispatchability and stable steam regardless of solar irradiation variations. One bCell™ can produce about 1.5 MWe equivalent of steam (depending onsite irradiation and operation strategy), which is produced from the solar field. The solar field, based on an enhanced collector trough system, and the Energy Center are combined together to create the bCell™. Function of the products: The bCell™ System, which is comprised of bCell™ modules (the core of the system), produces stabilized steam, directly to the turbine inlet, at a steady rate throughout the day, all yearlong. The product is designed for high efficiency, high availability and easy maintenance. It is modular and scalable and can provide specific solutions to various energy demands and different operation strategies, whether peak, intermediate or base- load demands. Objectives / Target companies The Company would like to be introduced to potential developers, local partners, investors and customers. Back to Index 5 Category: Solar power Sub Category: solar thermal power plants www.brightsourceenergy.com Company profile BrightSource Industries (Israel) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BrightSource Energy Inc. The Company, located in Jerusalem, is responsible for the development of solar thermal technology, plant engineering, and the design, engineering and supply of the solar field for all of the BrightSource plants. Year of establishment: 2006 No. of employees: 115 Background of the company BrightSource Industries (Israel) was founded by the veterans of Luz International Ltd., the company that during the 1980’s designed, developed, built, financed, and operated nine Solar Electricity Generating Stations (SEGS) in California’s Mojave Desert with a total generating capacity of 354 MW, still the largest operating solar power plants to day. Examples of projects BrightSource Energy’s first project is the Ivanpah Solar Power Energy Generating System, Located in Ivanpah, California. The 4, 000 acre site will produce 392MW of clean renewable energy. The projects will provide power under 2.6 gigawatts contracts of power, including the two largest solar power agreements ever- 1, 300 megawatts with Southern California Edison and 1, 310 megawatts with Pacific Gas & Electric Company for which BrightSource shall supply the solar technology and solar fields. Solar Energy Development Centre (SEDC) Located at the Negev Desert, at the Rotem Industrial park is a solar thermal demonstration power plant; this station serves BrightSource to demonstrate a cutting edge technology in the field of solar energy. The SEDC has been constructed for performance measurement and technology demonstration. Operating over the past year, the SEDC is producing the world’s highest temperature turbine quality steam from solar energy. Technologies & products LUZ Power Tower technology: BrightSource’s proprietary Luz Power Tower (LPT) 550 energy system is built on proven power tower technology. The system uses thousands of small mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a boiler atop a tower to produce high temperature steam. The superheated steam is then piped to a conventional turbine, which generates electricity. This fully integrated energy system is designed to offer the highest operating efficiencies and lowest capital costs in the industry. Its low-impact design also ensures that the technology has a minimal impact on the natural environment. The result is a large-scale solar system that delivers clean, reliable energy at a cost competitive with fossil fuels. Function of the product(s): Utility scale solar power plants, steam production.
