Generation of electrical energy from sun power shows a great potential in the feld of renewable resources. Today, two major technologies are avai- lable, photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar po- wer (CSP). CSP plant concept While PV technology produces electricity directly from any ambient light, CSP technology uses mir- rors to concentrate solar radiation into a receiver, where a transfer medium absorbs the heat and utilizes it in a heat exchanger to generate steam for a conventional regenerative water-steam cycle, which feeds a turbine to generate electricity. Va- rious alternative CSP technologies (Central Tower, Parabolic Trough, Linear Fresnel) are available to produce live steam with different parameters, from saturated to the highest superheated steam conditions. CSP plants with an integrated thermal storage sy- stem like molten salt allow higher utilization of the power block, even in absence of sun, and with the possibility of producing electricity on demand. Ansaldo Energia solutions for CSP plants Ansaldo Energia, with more than a century of ex- perience in power generation, has supplied about 700 steam turbines worldwide with a total capaci- ty of nearly 100 GW. In the 1980s Ansaldo Energia supplied a 1.5 MW steam turbine for the Eurelios demonstration solar plant at Adrano (Sicily, Italy). For CSP plants, Ansaldo Energia can provide not only the steam turbine-generator set, but the complete power block, including civil, mechanical, electrical and automation design engineering and the supply, installation and commissioning of all equipment for the water-steam cycle. Moreover Ansaldo Energia solar steam turbines can be used for Integrated Solar Combined cycles (ISCC), where a solar feld is fully in- tegrated in a combined cycle plant to reduce its emissions. Steam Turbines Ansaldo Energia has a com- prehensive portfolio of 50 Hz and 60 Hz non-reheat and reheat ste- am turbines up to 250 MW for CSP plants of different types and capacities.
