Descrizione:

EuroPaTMoS pulls together the European expertise and testing infrastructure for parabolic trough (PTC) with molten salt (MS), to accelerate transfer of technology from R&D to commercial deployment. Two leading European CSP companies (TSK Flagsol and Rioglass Solar) join forces with three SMEs providing risk assessment and quality assurance services (CSP Services GmbH), quality assurance equipment and measurement services (CSP Services España), electrical scope and operating teams for CSP (Ductolux) to develop a selling proposition with reduced risk and competitive cost. This industrial endeavor is supported by a strong R&D complement consisting of two large R&D institutions (DLR and ENEA) and three Universities (UCM, UNEX and UEVORA) with complementary specializations and abilities. Together they gather two of the most important European infrastructures for PTC-MS research and specialized lab and technical scale facilities for component testing and investigation of corrosion and salts degradation issues. This unique constellation enables the consortium to tackle all subtopics of Topic 2 by parallel investigations on the different test facilities, integrating the results and experiences of previous and ongoing projects in this field. In particular, the following issues will be addressed: Evaluate critical plant components regarding reliability (review of consortium joint knowledge, laboratory testing, operation in realistic environment). Develop a process control concept based on a virtual solar field, to be validated on a full size collector loop enabling hardware-in-the-loop simulation of a full solar field. Develop and demonstrate O&M procedures for exceptional molten salt operations (e.g. filling, draining, repair of leakages, re-vitalizing frozen parts). Carry out and document systematic risk assessment including mitigation measures. Develop high performance receiver tube and validate in relevant environment. Provide methods and equipment for advanced QA and monitoring during construction and operation of PTC-MS solar fields

Attività svolta da ENEA:

L’ENEA, in qualità di leader del WP3-Demonstration of molten salt specific operations, sarà coinvolta nelle attività di Ricerca afferenti al raggiungimento del Milestones di progetto n°1.2, per l’identificazione dei componenti dell'impianto da testare e sul milestone n° 3.1, per la definizione della matrice di test sperimentali. In aggiunta l’ENEA produrrà il Deliverable n°1.4, il rapporto sui test dei componenti chiave dell'impianto eseguiti presso l'ENEA; il Deliverable n°1.5, un report sul confronto dei risultati delle campagne di prova eseguite sui componenti chiave dell'impianto; e il Deliverable n° 3.1, il rapporto sui test sperimentali di riempimento e drenaggio dei sali fusi eseguiti in ENEA.
