Direct Normal Irradiance Nowcasting methods for optimized operation of concentrating solar technologies (DNICAST)

Start date: Oct 15, 2013, End date: Oct 14, 2017,

Concentrating solar technologies (CST) have proven to be very efficient sources of “clean” power for the electrical grid. The efficient operation of concentrating solar technologies requires reliable forecasts of the incident irradiance for two main reasons. First, such forecasts yield a better management of the thermodynamic cycle because it becomes possible to dynamically fine tune some of its p ...

Combined solar power and desalination plants: technico-economic potential in Mediterranean Partner countries (MED-CSD)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

"The growing economies in the southern and eastern Mediterranean area increasingly need affordable and efficient energy and water for sustainable development. Hybrid solar/fossil thermal power plants with combined sea water desalination based on concentrating solar power technology (CSP) offer a unique, cost efficient solution to the growing energy and water demand. Hybrid solar/fossil operation ...
