Win big in super-scale CspThe United States has emerged as a leader in the new global energy economy, with the development of super-scale CSP plants set to revolutionize energy markets in the US. Today 10,989MW of capacity is in development and with the government’s fervent commitment to reducing CO2 emissions the market for CSP is hot and getting hotter.

Today $4.85bn of co-financing has been mobilized and with permits in place the future should be bright, but despite this substantial progress the long-term sustainability of CSP is by no means guaranteed. Reducing LCOE is imperative if CSP has any hope of competing with plummeting prices, ease of installation and overall fierce competition from photovoltaics. And that’s just the beginning. 100MW+ projects are new territory for all involved and success will come down to mastering the design, engineering and construction of large-scale plants. Without thoughtful planning and careful execution, failure will not only affect individual balance sheets, but the entire industry’s track record, disastrous for a fledgling industry with so much promise.

understand the intricacies of Csp Design, Construction & bop engineering

Helping the industry power forward by developing innovative answers to these questions is precisely why CSP Today has launched the Csp plant optimization Conference & expo taking place on september 7-8 2011. Now in its 2nd year, this event promises to provide you with the top-notch contacts and know-how that will ensure your project’s long-term sustainability. With over 150 delegates in attendance, this event will focus on the design, engineering and construction of super-scale CSP Plants and provide the crucial information you need to execute your project successfully. With US projects coming through the pipeline and with permits and finance in place, it’s critical that you act now and seize this opportunity to maximise your plants performance. Failure to plan means planning for failure – so if you want to avoid catastrophic losses in output, you need to get a cast-iron strategy in place for plant optimization, now!

BETTER DESIGN, ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION

REDUCED LCOE OPTIMUM EFFICIENCY & PRODUCTIVITY

higher megawatt output, bigger ChallengesDespite 30 years of experience the US CSP industry finds itself in unfamiliar surroundings in 2011. Large-scale CSP has thrown up countless technical hurdles. It is fast becoming clear to developers, EPCs and utilities that only by streamlining your design, construction and engineering methods can these issues be overcome. All involved are waking up to the reality that acting now will save hours of time and cash later! Without an effective strategy in place you are simply guaranteeing yourself a high LCOE and poor performance. Not just devastating for your project but for the CSP industry as a whole… so it’s crucial that you win and win big!

Whether it’s poor component selection, flawed plant design or badly executed engineering… all promise to cost you time and money and will cripple your plants performance. This is why the Csp plant optimization Conference & expo features experts from around the globe who will be sharing their experiences in CSP to help you develop surefire strategies that will guarantee success. If you are planning, constructing or operating a CSP plant in the US, this is one event you simply cannot afford to miss. Here’s just a small taster of what you can expect to learn:

• You’llgetpracticalandcutting-edgeinformation from solar millennium and albiasa solar amongst others on plant design and layout considerations for large-scale CSP plants that will guarantee optimization from day one.

• Dynamicmethodstoselecttherightcomponents for your BoP system for true economies of scale and increased output – Hear from nrel, sandia labs, erK eckrohrkessel gmbh, foster Wheeler and ge energy who will demystify HTFs, Cooling, Turbines, Heat Exchangers, Receiver Tubes and explain just how you can scale up for bigger wins, today!

• Benefitfromyearsofknowledgeandexperience with the low-down on developed plants in Spain and the US, and how they achieved optimal performance, with solar millennium and abener amongst those sharing the wisdom that could save you time, frustration and money

• MarryingthebenefitsofCSPwiththegrid’srequirements – The latest innovations in dispatchability techniques that will give your plant the edge over PV, from those with hands on experience such as mmr power solutions and inland energy

• EasytoimplementO&Mmethodsthatwill guarantee long term performance from those in the know including nextera, Cogentrix and s2m for optimum efficiency and productivity

This conference is the only event to drill down into the real engineering issues in large scale CSP plants from the selection of every major component and technology (wet, dry and hybrid cooling, heat exchangers, turbine configuration, pumps, joints and valves) to on-the-ground design and construction. Every aspect of your plant optimization will be covered in detail so that you can put practical tips to work immediately after the conference!

act now & guarantees successThe two days you spend at this event will guarantee you project success for years to come. Through insightful presentations, lively discussions and revealing case studies we promise to refine your design, construction and engineering strategies for all-round success.

And that’s not all… in 2011 you will get even more value for money, including:

1. An improved online e-networking tool that will ensure you meet participants before, during and after the event

2. extended networking breaks and functions so that you can meet people that matter and form critical relationships

3. exclusive breakfast workshops, extended Q&a sessions and panel discussions, ensuring you get to engage with people who have the answers to you questions

The 2nd Csp plant optimization Conference and expo gives you the chance to finalise your design, construction and engineering strategies and ensure your projects success, so be a part of it and book now!

This year’s conference will sell out and early booking is strongly recommended to guarantee you are a part of this unmissable event.
