Each year over 1 billion terawatt hours of solar radiation arrive at the Earth’s surface. This corresponds to about 70,000 times of the world's current electricity demand. Thus, solar power has the biggest potential of all renewable energies.

Solar Power is inexhaustible …

Introduction

Page 41ª Jornada Técnica Generación Solar Termoeléctrica

Less than 3% of the total area of the Sahara desert covered with parabolic trough power plants would be sufficient to supply the world's electricity demand.

… usable at a vast number of sites …

Proven technology: parabolic troughs

The solar radiation is concentrated onto an absorber tube, situated at the focal line of the trough, and transferred into heat which is used to operate a steam turbine generating electricity.

Commercially operated plants in California since 1984 have generated revenues of over US$ 2 billion.

They can be operated as pure solar power plants or in hybrid systems.

Stable electricity production: Thermal storage means electricity production is independent of the momentary solar radiation.

Technology

Page 121ª Jornada Técnica Generación Solar Termoeléctrica

Technical description

A parabolic trough power plant with thermal energy storage basically consists of three parts:

"solar field with heat transfer circuit

"storage system

"power plant block with turbine, generator and cooling circuit

Components of the parabolic trough power plant

solar field storage system power plant block

Technology

Page 131ª Jornada Técnica Generación Solar Termoeléctrica

The electricity supplied from solar-thermal power plants fits ideally to the electricity demand in sunny countries (see graphic).

Stable electricity production even when the sun does not shine due to thermal storage device.

Solar thermal power plants provide grid stability in combination with other renewable energies.

Technology is already competitive for peak-rate market prices.
