R&D projects


Torresol Energy focuses its efforts on R&D activities of new thermal solar technologies aimed at reducing significantly the future costs of the electricity production, as well as promoting the development and exploitation of profitable and efficient large solar plants around the world. Our main research lines for the design, construction and start-up of CSP are as follows:

  • Meteorological studies in order to optimize the operation of solar plants.
  • Development of advanced receiver with high efficiency.
  • Development of solar plants without using water inside the cooling circuit.
  • Design of multi-tower pants.
  • Mirror reflectivity optimization.
  • Development of advanced thermal storage systems.
  • Plants with direct steam generation systems (DSG).
  • Operation process optimization.
  • Application of solar energy for the water purification and desalination
