| 20120080027 | SOLAR RECEIVER WITH NATURAL CIRCULATION FOR GENERATING SATURATED STEAM - The invention relates to a solar receiver with natural circulation for generating saturated steam, which uses water/steam as a heat-transfer fluid and includes a combined circuit for fluid recirculation (forced circulation and natural circulation). The system comprises: water-walls which receive the radiation on the surface thereof and inside which the working fluid changes phase; riser pipes through which the water/steam mix exiting the pipes of the receiver rises towards the boiler; downpipes through which the recirculation water descends from the boiler to the receiver; and a support pump in order to increase the incident power in the receiver and start up the plant when necessary. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120096859 | AIR- AND STEAM-TECHNOLOGY COMBINED SOLAR PLANT - Air- and steam-technology combined solar plant for use in the fields of electricity production, process heat, and solar fuels, as well as thermo-chemical processes, produced from the combination of a non-pressurised-air solar receptor, a saturated-steam solar receptor and a heat exchanger separate from the solar input that is used to produce overheated steam. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120125319 | SUPERHEATED STEAM SOLAR RECEIVER - Superheated steam tower receiver with a well-defined configuration that benefits the transfer of heat between the surface of the component and the working fluid. Composed of at least four subpanels that define the circulation circuit for the steam by means of internal passages. The component is provided with saturated steam and for the production of said steam it is possible to use other solar concentrator technology. The proposed configuration minimizes the technological risks inherent in superheated steam receiver technology where drawbacks arise in the structure of the material owing to the thermal cycles to which the solar component is subjected. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20130199183 | ECONOMIZER IN SOLAR TOWER PLANT AND OPERATING METHOD OF SAID PLANT - An economizer in a solar tower plant and operating method of said plant the purpose whereof is to make use of the heat from the heat losses generated around the solar tower receivers ( | 08-08-2013 |
| 20130298964 | MANAGEABLE HYBRID PLANT USING PHOTOVOLTAIC AND SOLAR THERMAL TECHNOLOGY AND ASSOCIATED OPERATING METHOD - Manageable hybrid plant using photovoltaic and solar thermal technology and associated operating method, wherein said hybrid plant comprises three levels of generation:

| 20140373830 | CONFIGURATION OF THE RECEIVERS IN CONCENTRATED SOLAR PLANTS WITH TOWERS - The invention relates to a configuration of the receivers in concentrated solar plants with towers comprising at least one medium-temperature receiver ( | 12-25-2014 |
| 20150020793 | PANEL-BASED SOLAR RECEIVER - The invention relates to a panel-based solar receiver for a thermal solar tower power plant ( | 01-22-2015 |
| 20150323772 | MIXED HELIOSTAT FIELD - Mixed heliostat field combining, in the same field, heliostats of different sizes and/or with different types of facets, all of them having at least one facet and being canted or not, and either having spherical, cylindrical, flat or quasi-flat (spherical with a high curvature radius) facets, such that the solar field is optimised in order to minimise shadows and blockages between heliostats, as a result of correct positioning of the heliostats in the field. | 11-12-2015 |
