Tekniker-IK4 leads R+D of main Abengoa project in solar thermal energy
The multinational Abengoa, in the renewable energy sector, has conferred the greater part of the R+D of its main solar energy project to Tekniker-IK4
The centre, based in the industrial town of Eibar in the Basque province of Gipuzkoa, will carry out technological developments to the value of 2 M€ within the framework of the CENIT ConSOLI+Da project, thus boosting the leadership of Spain in high concentration solar heat energy technologies and has a total budget of 24M€. Tekniker-IK4 is taking part in this project together with 30 other bodies.The project aims at the enhancement of the various high-concentration solar heat technologies, the advancement in the integration of installations and the development of new applications.
The participation of Tekniker-IK4 focuses on the development of Dish-Stirling systems – large mirrors designed to concentrate sunlight on to a “solar engine”, which transforms light into electricity; i.e. transforms concentrated solar radiation into useful energy.
Concretely, the work at Tekniker-IK4 involves all the different fields in which the Eibar-based technological centre is specialised in, such as the components for cylindrical-parabolic dishes, external combustion engines for Dish-Stirling systems, wireless communications systems for the control of solar energy plants, the verification of the geometry for large concentrations, heat exchanger fluids and the industrialisation of the manufacturing processes for systems and components.
