Shouhang Dunhuang 1st phase of 10MW molten salt CSP tower project

As Mr. Huang Wenbo, Vice Chairman of Beijing Shouhang IHW Resources Saving Technology Co., Ltd (shorted as Shouhang) reported recently on the performance of Shouhang Dunhuang 1st phase of 10MW molten salt CSP tower project, "It has been operating with quite good performance for alomost two years since the officail start on December 26, 2016. "

"Looking back at the statistics in the whole July this year, the generation capacity of the 10MW Tower CSP project reached 2021280 kWh, the steam turbine was started 11 times, and a record continuous 133 hours' power generation was sucessfully made in July, 2018."

During the 31 days in July, 2018, the hot salt had been heated for a total of 151 hours and the cold salt 44 hours:

7 cloudy days, the heating system worked some times when sunny;

5 days without any sunshine, no molten salt in the tower worked;

19 sunny days, all the molten salt was transferred onto the tower for heat-collecting.

As CSP Focus reported earlier, the 1st phase of 10MW project broke ground in August 2014 and became officially operational on December 26, 2016. With 15 hours' thermal energy storage system and 138 meters receiver tower, the project became the third in the world and first in Asia tower CSP project to achieve 24-hour continuous power generation.

The annual power generation of the power station last year in 2017 reached 10.67 million kWh. After the output test, the power generation reached the designed 10MW, and outlet temperature of the receiver reached the designed 565°C. All the systems have met the designed standard and the actual power generation has achieved 97% of the designed indicator.

Mr. Huang also talked on the progress of the 2nd phase of Shouhang Dunhuang 100 MW molten salt Solar Tower CSP Plant, which is among China 1^st phase of 20 CSP pilot projects. As the onsite pictures show, the construction work of the 100MW project is close to the end, the solar field is soon to be completely installed, both HTF&TES system and power island are almost done. All the molten salt is ready on site and the melting work is expected to start very soon.

Shouhang says that all is going quite well with the 100MW tower CSP plant, and as promised, the project will be connected to the grid by the end of 2018, and expected to be the second CSP demo to be completed in China after the first CGN Delingha 50MW parabolic trough CSP plant.

Shouhang also joined the execution of other China CSP pilot projects, like working as the role of Solar Field EPC in CGN Delingha 50MW parabolic trough CSP plant, and EPC contractor in Royal Tech Yumen 50MW parabolic trough CSP plant.

In the upcoming CSP Focus Innovation 2018（Oct.25-26, China）conference, Shouhang will join and share project experience, updates andtechnological innovations on CSP system and key components.
