Abstract
Concentrating solar power (CSP)technologies constitute achievable commercial options for large scale power plants as wellas for smaller electricity and heat generating device. Archimede Solar Energy (ASE), with the strong contribution of his shareholder Chiyoda and thanks to the important support given by industrial partners†, set recently in motion a Molten Salt Parabolic Trough (MSPT) Demo Plant, with the aim to deepen the knowledge about economy and reliability ofMolten Salt Parabolic-Trough receivers and Power Plants. We present the first characterization of ASE receiver tubes operated on the MSPT Demo Plant and on an indoor test benchas well as the Demo plant outcome regarding operational temperatures and heat loss.
