EOLO: Study of wind-derived problems and methods for mitigation in thermosolar plants located in desert areas

IDE/2016/000179

Projects co-financed by the Government of the Principality of Asturias through IDEPA and the Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation (PCTI) 2013-2017, and the EU through the ERDF Funds

The overall aim of the EOLO project is the development of an expert system to optimize the design, efficiency, performance and durability of a solar thermal plant in desert environments, where solar radiation in these areas is optimal for the location of these types of plants, but where sand, dust and high wind speeds cause the components to fail.
