Solugas - Solar Up-scale Gas Turbine System

Solugas - Solar Up-scale Gas Turbine System
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most promising concepts for the cost reduction of solar thermal electricity is the introduction of the solar energy into the Brayton topping cycle of a combined cycle (CC) power plant. In this way the solar heat can be converted to renewable electric energy with the highest currently available conversion efficiency of modern combined cycle plants. The main objective of the Solugas project is to demonstrate the performance and cost reduction potential of a solar-hybrid driven gas turbine system on a commercial scale. The demonstration project is the first commercial-scale gas turbine system that can later be offered to customers in several configurations (combined cycle, co-generation).
