Technology

Concentrated Solar Power Plant (CSP)

CSP Plant produces electricity using hundreds of mirrors to concentrate solar power to produce steam for electric generation. Most of technologies are exactly same as traditional fossil-fuel plant but remarkable advantage is environmental friendly to utilize solar thermal energy instead of fossil-fuel burning heat.

Major advantages are as below.
- CO2 reduction
- Good for fossil-fuel depletion
- No impact of fossil fuel price fluctuation -Relatively low operation cost.

Chiyoda will contribute to greenhouse effect gas reduction through CSP Plant Construction.

Concentrated Solar Power Plant

Environment-Friendly Energy

Solar power will never run out and CSP will contribute to greenhouse effect gas reduction.

High Efficiency

CSP has advantage of higher energy efficiency than wind and photovoltaic electric power generation.

Potential of Constant Power Supply

Thermal energy storage is one of most attractive part of CSP comparing with other renewable energy resource. Electrical storage is not implementable due to cost reasons but thermal energy storage is expected to achieve by reasonable cost utilizing popular material like molten salt, concrete and etc. Such thermal energy storage enable high controllability and stability of electric capacity even in the night time.

Potential of Extensive Usage as Thermal Source

CSP is expected to utilize as thermal source of combined cycle with fossil-fuel power plant (ISCC-Integrated Solar Combined Cycle), desalination, food production and etc...
