A report examining the technical feasibility of using solar thermal Linear Fresnel technology.
Report extract
The CSTPS is a hybrid power station comprising a 30 MW solar steam generator and a gas‐fired boiler capable of operating independently or with the solar field to maintain full steam supply to a conventional turbo‐generator. This allows for full load solar generation during sunny periods, shared solar/gas generation during periods of low or variable solar insolation or full gas operation during the night or during periods of unbroken clouds.
