MSLOOP PROJECT: THE NEW GENERATION OF CSP PLANTS

MSLOOP aims to validate a technology consisting of developing a cost effective solar field for CSP Parabolic Trough Power Plants using optimized ternary molten salts as HTF with an innovative hybridization system.

CADE takes part of the consortium together with COBRA, SCHLAICH BERGERMANN PARTNER, ARCHIMEDE SOLAR and UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID

cost effective solar field for CSP Parabolic Trough Power Plants

The MSLOOP 2.0 consortium consists of a multidisciplinary team formed by five partners from three European Union member countries (Spain, Italy and Germany) in strategic fields within solar thermal sector. This composition will boost an innovative development capable of achieving a strong positioning in the market.

The Kick-off meeting of the project Msloop 2.0 was held the 23th November 2016 at Cobra’s headquarters in Madrid. Five experienced institutions in strategic fields within solar thermal sector comprise the project.  The project is receiving funding from the EC under the Fast Track to Innovation Programme (H2020) that promotes close-to-the-market innovation activities.

During the kick-off meeting, the Consortium members discussed the status of the research area, project goals, and expectations of the different stakeholders with respect to the project outcome. An introduction of the main issues of the Work Packages was explained, describing the task involved in each one.

The members not only discussed about the organizational structure of the project and the technical content, but also they decided on matters related to the dissemination of results and the activities to be performed in the next 6 months.

CADE will be in charge of several WPs related to operation parameters optimization and reliability improvement, detail engineering, manufacturing and assembly supervision, operation and performance testing and validation, commercial scale up, reliability studies, among others.

Grid Flexibility in the Energy Transition: The Role of Thermal Storage

Energy Transition and New Demands on the Power System The energy transition toward a decarbonized, highly distributed, and digitalized system requires a deep reconfiguration of the traditional electricity system. Furthermore, the massive integration of renewable energy sources with high variability and uncertainty complicates the operational stability of the power grid.

Stress Analysis in FRP/GRP Piping According to ISO 14692 Standard

Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP/GRP) piping is widely used in industries such as oil & gas, water, and chemicals due to its corrosion resistance and reduced weight. However, its design and installation require precise stress analysis to ensure the structural and operational integrity of the system. The ISO 14692 standard provides

How Energy Savings in Refineries Depend on Steam Management

Steam is essential in refineries for processes such as heating, distillation, and power generation. However, leaks and condensate losses represent a multimillion-dollar waste in fuel, water, and efficiency. Addressing these issues not only reduces costs but also minimizes emissions and improves sustainability. The Hidden Cost of Steam Leaks A single

Explosive Atmospheres: Concept, Classification, and ATEX Parameters

What is an Explosive Atmosphere? An explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture of air with flammable substances (gases, vapors, mists, or dusts) which, under normal conditions of pressure and temperature, can ignite upon contact with an ignition source. This mixture contains a sufficient concentration of the flammable substance in
