AALBORG CSP A/S (ACSP)
Aalborg CSP (ACSP) is a leading developer and supplier of innovative renewable technologies aiming to change the way energy is produced today. Relying on extensive experience from some of the most efficient concentrated solar power projects around the world, Aalborg designs and delivers green technologies and integrated energy systems with lower cost of energy for industries and power plants worldwide. Aalborg CSP is an engineering provider/supplier of essential key components in integrated energy systems: such as SGS, HEX and TES, hence, Aalborg CSP covers multiple applications such as, water desalination, district heating/cooling, food processing, EOR, and coal transition. Aalborg CSP A/S is a key developer of direct steam solar tower receivers – tested and proven by a variety of demo and fully operational commercial CSP plants in the world. The unique aspects of the Aalborg CSP solar tower receiver design is rooted in the company’s long history with traditional boiler development. The steam drum within the receiver is designed according to specific standards for steam boilers. This contributes to multiple operational benefits which together create high steam purity, increased efficiency along with low investment and maintenance costs.

Role in the project
ACSP leads the “WP3 – Absorber design modelling”. Overall aim of the different tasks is to identify optimal solar absorber structures and their integration in the solar receiver for highest thermal efficiency depending on the materials properties and their corresponding process limitations as well as to perform a techno-economic-analysis of improved receiver and upscaling. ACSP also contributes to WP6, WP7 and WP8.
