CSTA has learned that recently, after a long period of technical exchange and certification testing, the director unit of the CSTA – ROYALTECH officially signed a contract with DLR to provide the core component - high-temperature vacuum molten salt collector tube for its cooperation with the University of Évora in Portugal for the Évora Advanced Parabolic Trough Molten Salt Demonstration Project (EMSP).

Solar thermal power plants have a unique advantage due to their integrated thermal storage systems - they can generate electricity in cloudy weather and at night. This makes CSP one of the few renewable energy options currently available for continuous and controllable supply. Therefore, in regions with abundant sunlight, CSP can contribute to ensuring the basic load in the future - as a sustainable alternative to natural gas, coal, or nuclear power stations.
ROYALTECH 's next-generation high-efficiency and low-cost parabolic trough technology demonstration project follows the successful continuous trial operation of nearly half a year for the Longteng RT86 series large parabolic trough collector demonstration loop built in the Bayan Nur Longteng Solar Thermal Energy Storage Science and Innovation Park. The matching molten salt system has recently completed the design review and is accelerating construction.
The new generation of high-efficiency and low-cost Longteng RT86 large parabolic trough collectors use the most advanced spatial frame structure internationally and have completely independent patent technology, achieving the continued iteration of domestic parabolic trough collector equipment.
