Guten Morgen, LG läuft aus, aber nicht nur für S2M sondern auch für alle anderen. Die USA wollen aber mit Macht von ihren Energieimporten runter und auch vom CO2 weg. Für Blyhe und Palen hat S2M ein PPA aus 2009, mit damaligen Preisen. Ich nehme an, daß es da nur Abschläge für Produktivitätsfortchritte bei CSP gibt, nicht für PV-Fortschritte. Ich möchte auch noch daran erinnern, daß die Kostendegression bei PV einen viel längern Vorlauf hat als bei CSP. S2M hat einen transportablen Roboter für den Bau des Helio Trough. Lt Dr. Wolff kommt "in the near fututre" ein Helio Trough 2. Das Kostensenkungspotential bei CSP kommt noch, bei PV ist das meiste schon gelaufen. http://social.csptoday.com/qa/new-dawn-solar-millenniumThe HelioTrough is the most advanced and most efficient collector in the market, and we are proud that we can apply it in the Blythe project with a highly automated assembly system. But we always strive for improving on the technology, so it’s more than likely that we will come out with a HelioTrough 2 in the near future. CSP / PV :In terms of demand characteristics, CSP offers the possibility of dispatching energy almost 24/7 thanks to thermal storage, whereas PV has its strengths in peak delivery.The challenge is now to find the right way to provide a complete, balanced offering to our customers’ demands. We are looking at developing hybrid CSP-PV projects on both sides of the Atlantic. Tower: Now the focus is on molten salt, but we are screening other technologies as well, such as compressed air. But troughs will always be around. They are the real ‘work horse’ technology; they are well established and work under all kinds of conditions. There is still a lot of localization potential for troughs and we are working on further bringing down the kw/h cost. Markt USA: In the US, we are looking at a leap-frog to a different size of plant – roughly 250MW – which will bring down the levelized cost of electricity. Blythe 1 and 2 projects are scheduled for financial close at the end of summer. The US market is going to bring the industry in to a different volume situation. 2GW of capacity is in advanced permitting stages, e.g. our other Californian site near Palen with 500 MW alone. Spanien :There is also the very real potential for Spain to become a renewable energy exporter to the rest of Europe. Welt: We can expect to see more activity in China, South Africa, and North Africa. There are signs that things are beginning to happen in Australia, and we have opened an office in South America. Da wird doch wohl an S2M was hängen bleiben. |
