According to the Tpreliminary estimates from EurObserv’ER, the solar thermal segment dedicated to heat production (domestic hot water, heating and heating networks) contracted by a further 4.6% in 2016 down to 2.6 million m2. The sector is pinning its hopes on the development of the collective solar segment that includes industrial solar heat and solar district heating to offset the under-performing individual home segment. ince 2014 European concentrated solar power capacity for producing Selectricity has been more or less stable.

The ground-mounted installa- tion is a challenging one, also for people like Matthias Wagner, not acquainted with such elevations. Wagner is the Executive Director of Global Channel Sales Management in the Smart PV Business Unit at Huawei. In this position, he has to travel to countries around the globe to meet customers and colleagues to handle a wide variety of PV projects. When we met with Wagner in March, he highlighted how such a project poses challenges for the equipment used, be it the solar panels or the inverters.

  • Evaluation of the Coupling of a Hybrid Power Plant with a Water Generation System
    applied sciences Article Evaluation of the Coupling of a Hybrid Power Plant with a Water Generation System Amanda del Moral and Fontina Petrakopoulou * Department of Thermal and Fluid Engineering, University Carlos III of Madrid, Avda. de la Universidad 30, 28911 Leganés (Madrid), Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 September 2019; Accepted: 11 November 2019; Published: 20 November 2019 Abstract: This paper presents the design and analysis of an energy/water system that combines a 20 MW hybrid concentrated solar/biomass power plant with an advanced wastewater treatment facility. Designed to be installed in one of the most demanding areas of the Iberian Peninsula, the Spanish region of Andalusia, this plant seeks to provide the area with potable water and electricity. The solar block works with a mixture of molten salts, while the biomass backup system of the power plant uses olive pomace. The implementation of a direct potable reuse facility further enhances the sustainability of the project. Urban sewage from the region is collected and passed through a series of purification procedures in order to generate potable water ready to be directly blended into the water distribution system. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine the feasibility of the co-generation of electricity and water in the area. With a capacity factor of 85% and an annual operation of 7,446 hours, the hybrid solar/biomass power plant generates 148.92 GWh. Exergetic analyses have been realized for two extreme cases: exclusive use of the solar block and exclusive use of the biomass system. An overall plant exergetic efficiency of 15% is found when the solar block is used and an efficiency of 34% is calculated when the biomass support system is used.
