Reliable. Superheated Steam. Low-cost. Land-efficient. Water-wise.

A Proven Technology. Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR) technology cost-effectively uses modular, flat mirrors, or reflectors, to focus the suns heat onto elevated receivers that enclose a system of boiler tubes through which water flows. The concentrated sunlight boils the water in the tubes, directly generating high-pressure, superheated steam for use in everything from utility-scale power generation to steam augmentation for existing power plants and industrial processing applications. Simple. Reliable. AREVAs proven technology, high-volume manufacturing capability, and use of standard materials enable rapid, cost-effective scale-up to meet your unique energy needs. Our solar steam generators are perfectly suited to meet peak power demand. They continue to operate through periods of transient cloud coverage, providing seamless, reliable power to the grid. And our optional natural gas boiler backup design ensures that power is always available even when the sun isnt shining. Scalable. Local. Designed to integrate easily with existing steam equipment, AREVAs solar steam generators are modular and scalable. Equipment can be installed rapidly with minimal grading. In addition, the equipment can be manufactured onsite or nearby, enabling companies to use local materials and labor, lowering installation costs and boosting local employment. Small Footprint. Big Results. AREVA has the most land-efficient CSP technology in operation today, lowering costs, simplifying permitting, and reducing environmental impact. Our high energy density is well-suited for existing power plant and industrial sites that may be land-constrained. Water is our working fluid, eliminating the need for costly synthetic oils. And our closed-loop system, combined with an air-cooled design, allows AREVA to reduce water consumption by more than 90% compared to wet-cooled CSP power plants.
Solar Reliability Meets Innovation

AREVA places innovation at the very heart of its industrial development. To better serve our customers, we continually invest in R&D to enhance our technology. Kimberlina Solar Thermal Power Plant, Bakersfield, California The Kimberlina solar power plant is the first concentrating solar power facility built in California in 20 years. Kimberlina generates high-pressure, superheated steam.
Kogan Creek Solar Boost Project South West Queensland, Australia CS Energys 750 megawatt coal-fired Kogan Creek Power Station near Chinchilla will become home to a 44 megawatt solar thermal addition. The project is scheduled to commence operation in 2013 and is the largest solar integration with a coal-fired power plant. Sundt Solar Boost Project Tucson, Arizona Tucson Electric Power (TEP) is partnering with AREVA Solar on a pioneering solar thermal addition to TEPs H. Wilson Sundt Generating Station in Tucson, Arizona to increase plant output by 5 megawatts without added emissions.

Reliance Power, India Reliance Power has partnered with AREVA Solar to build a 250 MW CSP installation in India, which will become the largest in all of Asia. The project will help India advance its countrys goal of adding 20,000 MW of solar energy by 2022.
Simple Solutions. Powerful Results.

AREVAs versatile solar steam generator can be used for stand-alone power plants, for solar steam augmentation at existing power plants, or for industrial processing.
AREVA is the only solar steam boiler manufacturer to receive the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) S Stamp Certificate of Authorization the industry hallmark for safety and reliability.
Stand-alone Power Plants (>50 MWe) AREVAs CLFR power plants produce reliable, cost-effective electricity. AREVAs equipment can also be integrated with a gas-fired boiler to ensure dispatchability and continuous power production. Our high-pressure, superheated steam solution helps power producers meet customer demand while fulfilling renewable energy mandates.
Power Augmentation (>8 MWe) Solar steam enables existing fossil fuel power plants to increase capacity at peak periods, without increasing emissions. These solar booster plants can be built and operating as early as 9 months, depending upon the size of the installation. This clean, land-efficient technology facilitates permitting, and its direct solar steam design eliminates the need for costly heat exchangers and synthetic oils.
Steam for Industrial Processing (>8 MWe) To protect against fuel price volatility and to meet sustainability goals, solar steam can displace fossil fuel consumption for mining, desalination, enhanced oil recovery, chemical processing, food processing, and pulp and paper manufacturing. Our solar steam generators integrate simply with conventional steam systems in retrofit and new plant designs.
