Abstract
The Abengoa solar thermal power tower demonstration plant, using molten salts at 565 °C as fluid, has been operating uninterruptedly for one year. The plant, which became fully operational in late August 2012, is continuing the program to test operation at different temperatures in a manner similar to that of a commercial plant 7 days a week. With this plant, the functioning of a solar receiver with molten salt as heat transfer fluid will be tested and validated. In addition, proving of the feasibility and efficiency of the generation of superheated steam from the flow of molten salt in a steam generator will be possible.
