This project, the first solar trough power plant in Arizona, was
implemented by APS in collaboration with Solargenix Energy, Ormat,
and others, and is the first project to combine solar trough
technology with a specially designed Organic Rankine Cycle based
OEC power block, similar to the type used by Ormat in geothermal
and recovered energy generation power applications. The plant's
process consists of the sun's energy being concentrated by
parabolic mirrors in a trough formation to receivers. This
concentrated solar energy heats up thermal oil, which then
transfers its heat to the OEC power unit working fluid. Use of
Organic Rankine Cycle technology facilitates generation of power
even with fluctuating and low temperature heat. Scott Canada, APS
Project Engineer, said: "APS believes that this plant is an example
of the future of energy generation and provides an excellent
opportunity to continue leading the development of renewable energy
in the US." He went on to say: "APS is proud of the effort of all
the team members who worked together to make this innovative
project a reality. The experts from Ormat, Solargenix and APS were
one of the main reasons the project was a success." Lucien
Bronicki, Chairman and CTO of Ormat Technologies, said: "Ormat is
proud to have been associated with this project, which we hope will
serve as a demonstration of the potential market for solar trough
power projects in the US." This same OEC technology has a proven
track record of low maintenance and high reliability in the
operation of over 800 MW of Ormat geothermal and recovered energy
generation power projects worldwide. About Ormat Technologies Ormat
