4. Tower technology
Abengoa is the pioneer in solar tower technology. The company designed, built and operates the world´s first and second commercial towers (PS10 and PS20). This technology consists of a field of heliostats that constantly tracks the sun to reflect solar irradiation into a receiver placed at the top of a tower. In the receiver, the heat of the sun is transferred to a heat transfer fluid (HTF), which is used to produce the steam needed to drive the turbine, generating electricity.
After years of experience in direct steam generation, Abengoa introduced new designs into the market, characterized by reaching higher temperatures and efficiencies, as well as reduced costs and water consumption.
Molten salt tower
Abengoa commercializes an innovative receiver design that uses molten salt as HTF. This innovation enables us to produce superheated steam at 540 ºC and 90 bars of pressure, which means a leap forward in efficiency. Due to the high operating temperatures, molten salt thermal energy storage system can be integrated into the plant providing dispatchability.
Super-heated steam tower
Abengoa commercializes super-heated steam tower technology that reaches higher temperatures during the electrical production. Abengoa is currently constructing in South Africa the first commercial tower with this technology in the world, Khi Solar One.

5. Parabolic Trough technology
This technology, with more than 30 years of successful deployment worldwide, consists of a set of mirrors mounted on a parabolic trough structure tracking the sun. The mirrors concentrate solar power upon a receiving tube that carries a fluid which absorbs the heat and reaches high temperatures. This fluid transfers thermal energy to water in order to generate steam, which drives a turbine to produce clean electricity.
Abengoa operates more than 800 MW in parabolic trough technology, including the world largest plant using this technology, Solana (Arizona, U.S.).
Storage
Abengoa has made important developments in thermal energy storage systems that enable generation with no concurrent solar power. This introduces dispatchability to solar energy production, which allows to meet better the energy demand. Storage offers a more stable supply and a significant advance in the integration of renewable energy into the grid.
Abengoa operates a unique thermal energy storage system in Solana, which is able to generate electricity for 6 hours at full capacity without sun. This means that it can operate in a similar way to conventionally fueled plants.

6. Hybrid technology
Abengoa was pioneer in hybrid technology by developing the first two ISCC (integrated solar combined cycle) plants worldwide, in Algeria and Morocco. Abengoa has developed a new commercial hybrid technology: hybrid solar thermal tower plants with a natural gas combined cycle, using molten salts as a heat transfer fluid. This hybrid technology has a higher efficiency and drastically reduces the emissions of conventional plants.
Industrial applications
Abengoa delivers clean energy produced with solar power to industrial clients worldwide. This energy is used to supply hot water, low– pressure water steam or electricity to meet the demand of industrial installations in several sectors: mining, desalination, heating, cooling, food and domestic consumption.
Photovoltaic technology
Abengoa supplies innovative photovoltaic products to clients worldwide.
Our high concentration photovoltaic modules offer important advantages in terms of efficiency, production curve, tracking precision and synergy with final markets.
