CSP

This is a presentation from Mr. Mohab Hallouda (World Bank Energy Specialist) during the “MENA Energized: Regional Challenges to "Green the Power" Sector” event held in in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. It was jointly organized by the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and the Euro Mediterranean Energy Market Integration Project (MED-EMIP).

This Final Report is the deliverable of Work Package (WP1) from the MED-CSD Project. Designed to assess combined solar power and desalination plants’ technico-economic potential in Mediterranean Partner countries, it was a project funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7). It ran between June 2008 and June 2010.

This presentation was delivered by Mr. Rafik Missaoui, a Tunisian Energy expert, during the “MENA Energized: Regional Challenges to "Green the Power" Sector” event held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. The event was jointly organized by the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and the Euro Mediterranean Energy Market Integration Project (MED-EMIP).

This is a presentation from the Mexican Non-Conventional Energy Management Electric Power Research Institute aimed at describing the perspectives of using concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies, and the implications stemming from this choice. It was made during the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) Electricity Workshop held in Paraguay in May 2010.

This presentation is from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) OpenCourseWare program on Sustainable Energy. It provides an overview of solar thermal technology including power towers, solar thermal cooling and storage technologies.

This two page factsheet is an overview of the US Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Program. Written by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), this report summarizes the recent initiatives and strategic focus of DOE’s Solar Energy Technologies Program and touches on regulatory efforts to help the burgeoning concentrating solar power (CSP) market sector.

This report analyzes the current state of concentrating solar power (CSP) technology and its market, and makes predictions on the impact that CSP will have on the broader energy markets in the next decade. It was written by the sustainable technology research firm the Prometheus Institute for Greentech Media, an online sustainable energy focused media company.

This is an evaluation of a rooftop micro-concentrated solar thermal power system installed in Santa Barbara, California. The presentation was developed by the energy company Chromasun and was first delivered at the Solar Power International 2011 conference.

The report published in 2010 by the Silvia Quandt Research deals with the downstream segment of the solar industry, highlighting its potential for investors. Starting from the case of feed-in tariffs in Germany, the report analyses not only key markets, but also the activities of leading companies in this sector.

This paper was presented during the 2009 SolarPACES Conference in Berlin by Christian Breyer and Gerhard Knies. The aim is to outline the potential of concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) in addressing the global energy supply challenges.
