Abengoa begins comercial operation of Concentrating Solar Power Solnova 1

06 de mayo de 2010

Abengoa Solar begins commercial operation of Solnova 1, the company’s first 50-megawatt parabolic trough plant.

Solnova 1 delivered excellent results throughout the three-day operation and production testing period. The new solar power plant, with its 50 megawatts of power, will generate enough energy to supply electricity to 25,700 households.

Abengoa Solar has initiated commercial operation of Solnova 1, the new parabolic trough technology plant located at the Solúcar Platform, following the successful completion of the operation and production testing conducted over the course of three days. During this phase plant performance matched theoretical electrical power generation design, thereby validating the tremendous potential of parabolic trough technology.

The Solnova 1 plant incorporates parabolic trough technology developed by Abengoa Solar and has integrated significant design enhancements. Worthy of special mention is the Abengoa Solar-developed ASTRØ parabolic trough collector which ensures far superior precision thanks to its design and exclusive process of construction and alignment.
