Concentrating Solar Power

13-15 April 2016 at Cranfield University, UK

Scientists and engineers who are currently engaged in energy and power generation need to be aware of recent global expansion in the building of CSP plants. This offers opportunities for the entire CSP supply chain, including component manufacturing. To meet this need for increased knowledge and understanding of CSP, Cranfield University has organised this specialist short course aimed to provide both theoretical and practical expertise in this rapidly growing technology and its applications.

The course will be delivered through a combination of lectures, practical sessions and a group exercise and will allow delegates to broaden their knowledge of solar collector designs and solar coating technology. The course will provide an overview of all aspects of concentrating solar power technology. It will also encompass CSP applications, giving delegates an awareness of its use for electrical power generation, heating and cooling, water desalination, the provision of industrial process heat, as well as off-grid medium and small scale cooking and water purification for remote regions of the world.

The course will be of particular interest to scientists, engineers, managers, technologists, and postgraduate engineers from the energy sector. It will also be valuable to manufacturing and engineering companies, policy makers, investors, research academics, technical professionals, technical staff and non-specialists who wish to gain a better understanding of CSP technology, its opportunities and its applications.
