TAILIEUCHUNG - SCHOTT Memorandum on Solar Thermal Power Plant Technology

The international technology concern SCHOTT decided back in the 1990's to focus on solar energy. Today SCHOTT is the only company worldwide that offers products and solutions for all solar technologies. SCHOTT delivers solar thermal tube collectors for water heating, photovoltaic modules for decentralized power generation, and receivers for parabolic trough power plants for centralized generation of electricity. SCHOTT employs outstanding solar experts. They are convinced of the great future prospects for solar energy. That is why we want to help a technology make a breakthrough, which, like no other, can develop the unlimited potential of solar energy: solar thermal power plant technology. This technology is proven and ready for the market - yet remains virtually unknown. Now it is time to. | SCHOTT MEMORANDUM SCHOTT Memorandum on Solar Thermal Power Plant Technology o o o o o SCHOTT glass made of ideas ĩ 1 HSSuUiSBiJ ĩ Ị q FOREWORD Solar Thermal Power Plants Proven and ready for market Europe must seize its opportunity in the world market The international technology concern SCHOTT decided back in the 1990 s to focus on solar energy.

That is why we want to help a technology make a breakthrough which like no other can develop the unlimited potential of solar energy solar thermal power plant technology. This technology is proven and ready for the market - yet remains virtually unknown. Now it is time to convince politicians and potential investors of its capabilities. SCHOTT would like to make a contribution to achieving this goal the SCHOTT Memorandum on Solar Thermal Power Plant Technology is designed to familiarize decision makers in politics and economy with the technology and to initiate the necessary steps for market launch. With high efficiency and the lowest energy production costs of all kinds of solar power plants the parabolic trough solar thermal power plant represents the goals of profitability reliable power supply and environmental protection. Parabolic trough power plants are suitable for industrial scale applications in the range of 50 to 200 MW of electrical power. They can replace conventional power plants designed for medium-load operation -and without any qualitative change in the network structure. The countries of the Mediterranean area alone could generate many times the total European energy demand. That makes .
