MOSAIC
The main objective of MOSAIC project will be to develop an innovative concentrated solar power plant configuration. This new configuration aims to improve concentration rate achieving temperature of 565°C in the heat transfer fluid enhancing the performance ratio.
Solar field will be fix without tracking system since receiver will track the sunray lights though an innovative system. Furthermore, solar field will be a semi-Fresnel spherical configuration with mirrors curved in two axis. The future plants will work with a thermal energy storage system (TES) operating as single heat transfer fluid molten salts.
The scope of MOSAIC project include design, prototype construction and validation looking for a cost reduction against current State-of-the-art. COBRA will analysis the competiveness of this new technology, whereas the company is involved in the design and construction as well.
Cobra’s participation in the project consists mainly of analyzing the competitiveness of the technology developed and the coordination of the activities of construction and start-up of the prototype.
