Alstom highlighted its comprehensive offering for concentrated solar power (CSP) at the SolarPACES Conference in Granada Spain from 20 – 23 September. SolarPACES is the foremost symposium for the who's who in concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems.

It offers a forum for industry, research, politics and financing stakeholders within the framework of a scientific conference programme with leading world experts

The role of thermal energy storage in increasing the capacity factor and electricity generation has often been hailed as an important differentiator for concentrated solar power (CSP) against other renewable energy solutions. This exciting and now commercial technology has been outlined in a technical paper being presented at the conference by Alstom, highlighting, “The value of dispatchability for CSP plants under different market scenarios”.

In addition to the technical papers, Alstom presented its comprehensive offering for concentrated solar power (CSP) applications including Alstom’s joint offering for tower receiver technology with commercial partner BrightSource Energy at a booth within the conference area.
