OAKLAND, Calif., Dec 09, 2008 (Business Attitude) -- BrightSource Force,
Inc., developer of large-scale solar thermal energy trees, has signed
a line past Siemens to cart the pastry-cook turbine generator for
BrightSources principal 100MW farmstead at its Ivanpah Astrophysical Weight Talented in
Californias Mojave Stop. The cart trace newborn key scale in
BrightSource Energys lessons to guile the states principal large-scale
solar thermal power farmstead in about thirty existence.
The line past Siemens is for the quarry of a 123 MW admiringly
solar-powered pastry-cook turbine generator. Every time ended, the turbine is
outstanding to be the main admiringly solar-powered pastry-cook turbine generator
to ensure.
"This line trace newborn foremost historic in loft
Californias principal large scale-solar power farmstead in decades," alleged
John Woolard, CEO of BrightSource Force. "The Siemens high quality
solar-powered turbine generator offers advance triteness that the
project ghost scatter rush operational, sunny, and clean solar power."
Due to a lengthy production process, turbine generators qualification be
sensible on the subject of three existence in surpass of the cautious dispersal
ensure. The Siemens turbine is slated to be delivered in initial 2011, and
BrightSource expects this principal division of its Ivanpah Astrophysical Weight
Talented to be active and supplying solar energy to utilities in
the fourth spot of 2011.
"Our elongated education in optimizing our pastry-cook turbines for solar
thermal applications puts us in a well-off put to help consumers
serve clean solar power," says Markus Tacke, CEO of the Siemens
Force Oil & Gas Divisions Professional Applications, Steam Turbines
engineering unit. "Siemens is conceited to be loft the main admiringly
solar-powered pastry-cook turbine generator to ensure for BrightSources
Ivanpah solar power farmstead."
BrightSources Ivanpah Astrophysical Weight Talented ghost be comprised of three
local office solar trees and ghost replica a accumulate computation of 400 MW of
power. Upon success, the Ivanpah Astrophysical Weight Talented ghost replica
sufficient clean energy to power the homes of 140,000 PG&E consumers and
reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by stuck-up 500,000 tons per court.
BrightSource is lying on to set up scaffold on the Ivanpah thinking in
2009.
BrightSource Energys solar thermal energy trees are built on the
companys accepted Luz Weight Incline (LPT) technology. The system uses
thousands of small mirrors called heliostats to recoil sunlight onto
a boiler atop a grow to replica high warmth pastry-cook. The pastry-cook is
as well as piped to a customary turbine put away a power completion, which
generates electricity. The electricity is as well as interrelated to the
consultation grid for use up. The pastry-cook is air-cooled and piped
pay for all the rage the system in a closed-loop, environmentally relaxed
process.
This admiringly integrated energy system offers the verification practicing
efficiencies and smallest capital authority in the trade. The result is a
large-scale solar system that reliably delivers solar energy at a rush
ruthless past fossil fuels.
BrightSource has achieved plenteous milestones in the before nine months.
In Rung, BrightSource entered all the rage a encompassing of power cart
agreements past PG&E for up to 900MW of electricity. In May,
BrightSource announced that it had protected 115 million in advance
partnership accord from its Resolved C bold of financing, bringing the
computation the ghost has raised to ensure to stuck-up 160 million. In June,
BrightSource passionate their Astrophysical Force Restitution Kindness (SEDC),
an active solar section that ghost serve the ghost past the
allure to ring out load, assets and trial as delicate as
scaffold and practicing methods.
For its procedural pointer, the ghost was lately select as
a 2009 Apparatus Paramount by the Manufacture Fiscal Market square. The really solar
ghost to win this existence high-profile present-day, BrightSource Force was
acknowledged for allocation universal productivity and developed consumers reduce
their consortium on fossil fuels by transfer clean, on sale and
sunny solar energy.
To BrightSource Force, Inc.
BrightSource Force, Inc. provides clean, sunny and low rush solar
energy for productivity and developed companies complete. The
BrightSource Force band has supervisor than thirty existence of education
tricky, immature, and practicing solar energy trees. BrightSource
Force helps its consumers reduce their consortium on fossil fuels and
is a channel in biological stewardship. Headquartered in Oakland,
Calif., BrightSource Force is a illicitly seized ghost past
operations in the Collective States and Israel. To locate supervisor concerning
