Concentrated Solar Technologies

Concentrated Solar Technologies

  • CSTs can help reducing the fuel oil/electricity during day time by way of integrating them with their existing units
  • Its a device which can concentrate solar radiation using mirrors/lenses to produce high temperatures in the range of 100 to 450 C or more even.
  • These devices, however, need automatic tracking so as to focus Sun rays on to a receiver all the time. They can also tap only direct normal radiation and not the diffuse.
  • Solar water/air heaters are already in promotion at commercial level but these are limited to temperatures below 90C
  • They also require larger space for desired heat delivery, but have advantage of collecting both diffuse & direct radiation
  • Use of CSTs at places of direct utility make them viable subject to availability of good DNI

CST in Promotion under MNRE Scheme

  • Fixed focus single & dual axis tracked elliptical dishes (Scheffler) for direct indoor cooking (50-100 people) & for steam generation (cooking, laundry, space cooling etc. of any capacity)
  • Fully tracked Fresnel based dishes (Arun ) for process heat, cooling, laundry applications
  • Parabolic troughs, Paraboloid dishes & LFR introduced recently
  • Active Suppliers : Dish cookers- 20; Scheffler dishes- 10 & Arun technology -1, Other Technologies - 5
  • 20,000 dish cookers, 150 indoor direct cooking & 140 steam cooking/ process heat systems installed with 50,000 sq. m. area
