Project: High Perfomance Thermosolar Plants based on PV-Hybrid Autonomous Heliostats and Tailored Receivers

Acronym PHOTON (Reference Number: 11584)
Duration 30/10/2017
Project Topic A new disruptive solar field concept, composed of an autonomous high performance hybrid heliostat, and a solar receiver optimized to it for CSP central tower plants that allows to cut off costs, including those of the auxiliary equipment, and increased efficiency in order to improve the production/cost ratio and the LCOE of this technology regarding the state-of-the-art references. A cost reduction of 25 % and increase of annual Electricity production of 5 % will be achieved .
