Concentrating solar technologies can make a significant contribution to the global energy transition by providing green electricity, heat and fuels. CSP/PV-hybrid power plants supply dispatchable and cost-efficient electricity 24/7 while stabilising the grid. CSP storage capacities make the energy systems more stable, allowing increased use of wind and PV by reducing curtailment. At the same time concentrating solar collectors also provide heat at high temperatures or steam, suitable for a wide range of industrial processes.
The event informs about the current status of market development and potential of concentrating solar technologies and thermal storages and will showcase a wide range of innovative applications and projects.
