Statusbericht solarthermischer Kraftwerke Erfahrungen, Aussichten und Empfehlungen zur Ueberwindung der Markthemmnisse fuer die Technologie der Parabolrinnenkraftwerke

On the base of the operational experience of the SEGS plants in California with 354 MW of total installed capacity and showing 72 plant years of operation to date, a number of feasibility studies have been launched. Despite these efforts, no facilities have been implemented further on. In this report, the status of solar thermal power plant development is explored and some insight into actual and perceived barriers dealying the commercial advancement of this technology is provided. As background, the technology is described starting with a brief overview of solar technologies, and the potential market for solar thermal plants is postulated. Integral with market considerations are an understanding of world energy and electricity growth projections, and the associated impact on the environment and global warming through emissions, both of which are treated. Technology costs, economics and financing of commercial-scale plants are discussed and recent feasibility studies and results are presented. Finally, policy recommendations and financing scenarios are postulated which could ease the path for further commericalization and accelerate future implementation.
