From fossil and biomass to nuclear and renewables, close to 25% of the world’s power production capacity now depends on Alstom technology or services. Whether in design, manufacture, procurement or servicing, Alstom is setting the benchmarks for innovative technologies that provide clean and...

Access to affordable power is the key to an improved standard of living for everyone. However, it is essential that this power be produced without negative environmental side effects. Alstom’s Clean Power Today® strategy recognises the need to improve the environmental balance of legacy plants, while increasing the adoption of new clean energy solutions. 1. Balancing the energy portfolio by increasing the share of renewable technologies 2. Focus on production efciency and exibility 3. Implementation of carbon capture and storage

The Alstom Bringing global reach CLEAN POWER TODAY!® Alstom’s leadership in power generation is built on our complete portfolio for fossils and renewable solutions. Taking into account market and regulatory dynamics as well as technology developments, Alstom now offers expertise and solutions in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) to tap into the free energy supplied by the sun with utility scale solar plants. PLANT INTEGRATOR™ Alstom’s Plant Integrator™ approach optimises performance by balancing the interactions between plant subsystems from energy capture to grid connection. In Solar Thermal...

advantages and EPC leadership to solar With a strongly favourable regulatory climate and recent technological advances, solar energy is increasingly recognised as a viable energy investment. As leaders in steam turbine and boiler technology and plant integration capacity with decades of experience, Alstom has chosen to focus on the area of concentrated solar power (CSP) where signicant potential exists for efcient utility scale production. Experienced leader With over 100 years of experience in building steam power plants, Alstom has the expertise, technology and the product portfolio to...

Alstom offers a complete portfolio of power generation equipment and services for all fuel types. By 2030 the world will have seen a signicant change in the power generation mix with an increased share of CO2-free and renewable power. Alstom has a strong role to play in the emerging and growing solar power market.

Solar Promising Harvesting the sun belt he Unlike photovoltaic generation, ion, which produces electricity directly from any ambient light, the more e stable and fully dispatchable CSP lar approach requires direct solar ants radiation. Solar Thermal plants m2/y require at least 1900 kWh/m2/y SP as found on the sun-belt. CSP is sting the ideal approach to harvesting rgethe sun’s free energy for largescale grid connected power table generation but it is also suitable ations. for remote industrial applications. The sun is so powerful that it would take less than 1% of the world’s deserts...

solutions locations and applications Applications Stand-alone Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Stand-alone CSP plants are the ideal choice for sun-belt locations where clean fuel-free power is required. At present, supporting incentives are necessary but technological advances mean solar thermal elds will soon rival fossil fuel plant energy prices. If needed by the customer, based on its consumption structure, the addition of a storage system to a CSP plant signicantly adds to the project value with only a marginal increase in the overall investment Hybrids Hybrids are an important...

Concentrating Proven Three CSP technologies As an EPC contractor Alstom is able to support all three CSP technologies for stand-alone plants or in hybrid congurations. Conversion efcency Central Receiver Parabolic Trough 2015 Linear Fresnel Today Rated power MW The steam produced in a CSP plant is in the optimal range for highly efcient steam to electricity conversion – Alstom’s speciality for almost 100 years. Furthermore, hotter steam means greater returns on storage system investments.

technologies performance and big potential Central Receiver (Tower) Thousands of small at mirrors, known as heliostats, track the sun on two axes and so concentrate the sun’s heat onto a boiler mounted on a tower. This produces high temperature steam that is piped to a conventional turbine to generate electricity. The intense energy concentration made possible by the large array of mirrors allows the highest operating efciencies and lowest capital costs per kWh of any solar system. The result is a system that delivers clean, reliable energy at costs that are becoming competitive with fossil...

Full component supply Engineering from collection to connection: we support power producers with designing and planning standalone or hybrid solar plants. We have the industry leading solution for central tower CSP, thanks to our partnership with BrightSource Energy, and can handle all solar applications and congurations as a one stop custom shop. Solar Thermal plants are normally in remote arid locations with high ambient temperatures. Building on Alstom’s extensive plant integration and turbine experience, we offer everything from specic components to whole package solutions that are...

to connection comprehensive service portfolio Power plant construction & grid connection As the engineering, construction and procurement (EPC) provider, Alstom has commissioned more than 360 conventional steam power plants during the last 30 years. Drawing on this expertise, Alstom now provides full EPC services for solar power plants. Having supplied major components to more than 1170GW of power generation around the world, Alstom is not just a leading global original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and an EPC provider. We are also responsible for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of...
