We wholly own two molten salt tower CSP projects in Delingha, Qinghai, with installed capacities of 10MW and 50MW, respectively, and seek further investment, construction, and management opportunities in CSP projects.
The tower CSP system is a point-focus heat collection system. It uses a large-scale heliostat field array that automatically tracks the sun, precisely reflecting sunlight onto the receiver to heat the working medium (molten salt) flowing inside the receiver to over 500°C. The high-temperature molten salt is then stored and used to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam through heat exchange with water, which drives the steam turbine generator unit to produce electricity.
The system provides continuous, stable, and dispatchable high-quality electricity, which can serve as peak load regulation for the power system
Compared with coal-fired power generation, CSP units have a wide load change range (10%-100%) and a fast regulation response
Compared with photovoltaic power generation, CSP has a stable output and is friendly to the power system
CSP power generation process has no pollutant emissions and is environmentally friendly
It is the world's first molten salt energy storage tower CSP plant whose annual power output exceeds the designed annual output, and has achieved its full production targets for three consecutive years. This not only demonstrates China's independent R&D capabilities and localization level in CSP technology but also contributes to the local economy and environment.
It is China's first and the world's third large-scale energy storage tower CSP plant, which has been operating stably for twelve years. The power generation achievement rate is 97%, ranking first globally. It showcases China's technological progress in CSP and represents an important milestone in China's CSP field.
