Gas turbine 90 MW
Principle / Characteristics
Line-focussing with long mirror strips onto fixed absorber
Lower optical efficiency compared to parabolic trough
More simple design offers potentially lower investment cost
Direct steam generation in absorber (25 – 100 bar / 270 – 550°C)
Conventional water-steam-cycle (now saturated, future superheated)
Efficient use of land due to compact design
Status
Relatively new technology
Several pilot plants in operation in Australia, Spain and USA
First pre-commercial demonstration plant for electricity generation
(5 MWe) started operation end of 2008 in California
First large scale plant shall start operation in 2012 in California
using Ausra’s Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector technology.
New 30MW project announced in Spain, recent large
investment by Swiss utility

Solar Thermal Power Plants – Solar Tower
Principle / Characteristics
Tracked field of mirrors („heliostats“), point focussing (factor > 500)
Concentration on small area on top of the tower („receiver“)
High concentration factors = high temperatures (up to 700°C)
High solar-electric efficiency due to higher temperatures
Different heat transfer fluids (molten salt, air, water/steam)
generation of steam by heat exchanger
conventional water-steam-cycle
Status
Potential successfully demonstrated in several large pilot plants
Solar Tower technologies at different development stages
First two commercial plants in operation in Spain (PS 10 & 20)
Several large plants (>100 MWe) under development in US
Despite first commercial plants still more R&D needed

Status
Most mature and bankable CSP technology
First nine plants (SEGS plants) successfully in operation
since more than 20 years in California
Several Gigawatts of parabolic trough power plants in
planning or already under construction
Major cost reduction due to mass production, economy
of scale and further technological advancements
Next steps: Direct steam generation + implementation
of new storage technologies (e.g. concrete)
