The parabolic trough concentrated solar power (csp) industry research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD million" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The less than or equal to 50 mw segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
The market has experienced notable growth in the less than or equal to 50 MW segment, focusing on flexible small-scale energy solutions. This segment caters to businesses and residential areas, offering advantages such as installation in various locations, including urban areas. The scarcity of suitable land for power generation in several countries is a significant challenge, making small-scale CSP plants an appealing alternative. CSP technology, which includes Parabolic Trough collectors, harnesses solar energy through mirrors that focus sunlight onto a receiver, generating heat. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives a turbine to generate electricity. Solar irradiance plays a crucial role in the performance of these systems, with optimal efficiency achieved under high solar radiation.
Government incentives and solar energy policies have been instrumental in driving market penetration and the adoption of CSP technology. Industrial process heat applications, such as steam generation for manufacturing industries, are a growing trend, contributing to the market's expansion. Performance optimization and advancements in technology, including solar tracking systems, optical efficiency, and the Organic Rankine cycle, have led to increased thermal efficiency and power output. Thermal energy storage, primarily through molten salt, enables CSP plants to provide consistent power generation and grid integration. The market's future outlook is promising, with hybrid energy systems and the integration of renewable energy sources becoming increasingly prevalent.
Sustainable energy initiatives, carbon emissions reduction targets, and the need for clean energy are key industry drivers. Maintaining and operating CSP plants involves regular upkeep, including the replacement of construction materials and heat transfer fluids. Direct steam generation and the use of efficient power plant designs contribute to lower operational expenditures. The evolving market dynamics include the development of new projects, capital expenditures, and the environmental impact assessment of CSP plants. Despite challenges, the market's potential for growth and its role in providing clean, renewable energy make it an exciting area for innovation and expansion.
The Less than or equal to 50 MW segment was valued at USD 3624.20 million in 2018 and showed a gradual increase during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 29% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period.Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of increasing renewable energy usage in power generation, with Europe anticipated to experience the most significant growth during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the parabolic trough CSP targets set by several EU countries, including Spain, Italy, and France. Spain and Italy have committed to a 2030 binding renewable energy target surpassing 30%, while France has established solar power goals of 20.1 GW by 2023 and 31.1-44.0 GW by 2028. The solar PV objectives of the leading European countries, namely, Germany, Italy, the UK, France, and Spain, are poised to boost the adoption of parabolic trough CSP systems.
Parabolic trough collectors, a crucial component of CSP technology, play a significant role in this transition. These collectors concentrate solar irradiance, converting it into heat, which is then used to generate steam. The steam, in turn, drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. The thermal energy generated can also be used for industrial process heat, further increasing the technology's appeal. Land use for solar energy installations and performance optimization are essential considerations in the development of CSP projects. Solar tracking systems and optical efficiency enhancements are essential for maximizing energy yield. The Organic Rankine cycle and thermal storage technologies are vital for improving thermal efficiency and grid integration.
Government incentives, such as subsidies and tax credits, are crucial for the market's growth. The EU's Renewable Energy Directive and the European Investment Bank's financing initiatives are significant drivers. The future outlook for concentrated solar power is promising, with advancements in technology, including the use of molten salt as a heat transfer fluid and energy storage solutions, enabling the integration of CSP with hybrid energy systems. Project development, capital expenditure, and operational expenditure are essential aspects of the CSP market. Maintenance and operation are crucial for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of CSP power plants. Renewable energy sources, including solar thermal energy, are becoming increasingly important in reducing carbon emissions and addressing environmental impact concerns.
