HYSOL
The HYSOL project focused on overcoming the limitations of the CSP technology in order to increase its contribution to the global electricity by means of hybridization with gas turbines to achieve a stable output and 100% reliability in all meteorological conditions.The HYSOL plant was conceived to validate the use of 100% renewable energies (biogas derived from biomass is used) for the production of firm and reliable electricity delivery. This set up represents the the highest contribution of solar energy in a hybrid power plant to date.
The result of the HYSOL project was a new technology of almost commercial standards for solar hybrid combined cycles (SHCC). In order to achieve this pre-commercial design the consortium validated the demonstrator under different operating conditions and the viability of the project in different locations. The experience acquired from the operation of the demonstrator in Mancahsol (Spain) has aided in the optimization and validation of all the simulation tools (these are the basis for future engineering works), the system control logic and the operational methods for future commercial plants.
COBRA as the leader of the project under took the coordination, integration, engineering and construction of the prototype in addition to the project O&M.
