The sun is our greatest energy resource. And we can use it for free.
The principle idea of our Fresnel solar power plant is harvesting the sun’s energy to produce steam and electricity.
The linear Fresnel approach developed by SPG is a line-focusing system. The horizontal collector is very simple, highly modular and scalable from units of a few megawatts to large-scale power plant sizes of 200 MW or bigger.
The plant consists of individual building blocks, which are called modules. Several modules comprise one section that can perform either of the following processes: pre-heating, evaporation or superheating. Usually, a power plant will have at least three sections. Each module has a capacity of up to 1 MWth and a dimension of 21 x 100 metres. Due to the simplicity of the technology and the design, the full collector field can be scaled up to any size and capacity very economically by connecting several [modules] tracking units.
