Innovative receiver technology (TEWA)<br />
I n n o v a t i o n + T e c h n i k<br />
• receiver tube consists of a coated steel tube <strong>in</strong> an<br />
evacuated glass jacket to m<strong>in</strong>imize heat losses<br />
• hydrogen set free from thermal oil can destroy the<br />
vacuum<br />
• special coat<strong>in</strong>g is be<strong>in</strong>g developed to prohibit hydrogen<br />
from pass<strong>in</strong>g the steel tube<br />
• this will result <strong>in</strong> an overall<br />
longer lifetime of the receiver<br />
• currently best available<br />

Conclusions<br />
I n n o v a t i o n + T e c h n i k<br />
• <strong>Solar</strong> resources for CSP technologies are huge on the<br />
Arabian pen<strong>in</strong>sula<br />
• Engagement <strong>in</strong> CSP will provide grow<strong>in</strong>g chances for<br />
companies, utilities and new jobs<br />
• Innovative and high-quality CSP technologies from<br />
<strong>Germany</strong> are available to realize this solar vision<br />
• Appropriate framework conditions are essential<br />
• Investors need securities, e.g. by long term power<br />
purchase agreements
