Hybrid Solar Thermal Power Plant

closed

The Solar Thermal Project Agua Prieta Project for Mexico will demonstrate and encourage replication of integrated solar combined cycle system (ISCCS) power generation technology in Mexico and elsewhere, thereby contributing to the reduction of global green house gas (GHG) emissions. The project components are: Component I) design and construction of a 31 MW (peak) solar field; the solar collector field consists of a large field of single-axis tracking parabolic trough solar collectors. Component 2) design and, construction of a 480 MW (net) gas based thermal plant; the plant is based on a standard configuration that includes two industrial frame combustion turbines each associated with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and a steam turbine.
