Technical data for concentrated solar power plants in operation, under construction and in project

Abstract

This article presents technical data for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in operation, under construction and in project all over the world in the form of tables. These tables provide information about plants (e.g., name of the CSP plant, country of construction, owner of the plant, aim of the plant) and their technical characteristics (e.g., CSP technology, solar power, area of the plant, presence and type of hybridization system, electricity cost, presence and type of TES, power cycle fluid, heat transfer fluid, operating temperature, operating pressure, type of turbine, type and duration of storage, etc.). Further interpretation of the data and discussions on the current state-of-the-art and future trends of CSP can be found in the associated research article (Pelay et al., 2017) [1].

Data on the awareness and adoption of ICT in town planning firms in Lagos state, Nigeria

“…Similar methods and contributions can be seen in [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] . Specifically, the data presented in the article can be helpful in policy implementation and monitoring in ICT adoption and assessing the gains accruable to ICT investments, some of the articles [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] addressed similar issues. In addition, different analytical paths can be explored [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] .…”

Life cycle assessment of thermochemical energy storage integration concepts for a concentrating solar power plant

“…The vast majority of TES systems in CSP plants are based on sensible heat storage (mostly molten salts), for their reliability, low cost and a large amount of feedback obtained. 5,6 However, their low energy density results in significantly increased equipment sizes for high storage capacities, making them less competitive for large-scale powerful CSP plants. Latent heat-based TES technology using Phase Change Materials (PCMs) is also proposed for their higher storage capacity compared to sensible heat technology and almost constant charging or discharging temperature.…”
