Spatial irradiance estimation in a thermosolar power plant by a

Thermosolar power plants are large-scale systems where solar collectors gather solar energy to generate electric power. In the case of Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) solar plants, collectors are composed of parabolic mirrors and a tube located in the focal point of the parabola where a heat transfer fluid (HTF), usually thermic oil, is heated up to generate steam

Israel signs deal with Negev Energy to build $1.04bn thermo-solar plant

Unlike solar photo-voltaic facilities, thermo-solar plants do not derive power directly from sun rays. The technology uses the sunlight to generate heat, which is then passed through water to produce steam, leading to renewable power. Negev Energy had previously signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Israel Electricity in 2013.

What is a Thermosolar Plant?

This target is achieved because of power plants with thermal storage system are able to discharge energy into the network during times of the day in the absence of solar radiation. Solar thermal plants that include thermal storage allow to absorb more energy from the solar beams that is necessary to operate the plant at nominal power.
