Novatec Solar’s Fresnel collector generates superheated steam above 500°C
Novatec Solar’s Fresnel collector has successfully generated superheated steam at temperatures above 500°C at its 1.4 megawatt (MW) demonstration plant in Murcia, Spain, by implementing an innovative receiver design.
“With this technical achievement, Novatec Solar takes a leading position in the development of high temperature CSP technology”, says Martin Selig, Head of Market and Product Development. “It combines the low cost nature of our Fresnel technology with high cycle efficiency of superheated steam turbines, leading to significant reduction of electricity generation cost of concentrated solar power.”
