Trend CSP
CSP is also known as concentrated solar thermal power generation, and the power generation mode is "light energy→ thermal energy→ mechanical energy → electrical energy". The unique CSP conversion process allows CSP to integrate power generation and energy storage, and can assume multiple roles of "baseload power supply + regulating power supply + synchronous power supply", and can play a good synergy with photovoltaic and wind power, so integrated projects such as "wind and solar thermal storage" and "solar thermal energy storage" have become important development trends in the future.
By the end of 2021, the cumulative installed capacity of CSP was 580MW. Under the general trend of vigorously promoting the construction of wind-solar-thermal complementary base projects, since the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the "14th Five-Year Plan" energy/renewable energy plans have been released one after another, among which many provinces and cities, especially many places in the northwest that have made breakthroughs in the construction of the first batch of CSP demonstration projects in the country, have continued to increase the layout of CSP power generation. The total installed capacity of CSP projects under construction/planned development in China exceeds 4,000MW.
The solar island of a CSP plant usually needs to control thousands or hundreds of mirrors to track the position of the sun to obtain maximum energy and increase power generation.
In response to the needs of the CSP industry, Phoenix Contact offers the MAX100 mirror tracking controller for the CSP industry.

Phoenix Contact solutions for mirror field control for solar thermal power generation
Field control network architecture
Advantages and features of the solution
[1] The high-performance zone redundant controller accepts the instructions of the upper computer, runs the corresponding strategy, executes the control instructions for the heliostat in the area according to the preset tracking target point, and ensures the stable operation of the system in the event of a failure or replacement of the controller.
[2] Layer 3 switches that support VRRP (Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol) improve network reliability.
[3] The 2000 series switches and heliostat tracking controllers form a ring of Ethernet, which enhances the redundancy and reliability of the network.
[4] Centralized management and batch processing of LOC programs, firmware and data can be realized.
[5] Monitor the network of the mirror field, the connection status of each device of each switch, and the data traffic.
[6] Monitor the status of the ring network at any time, locate the communication fault point, and do not need to wait for the communication to be lost before looking for the problem.
[7] Monitor the status of switch ports, and record the events of all ports plugging and unplugging to prevent accidental intrusion.
[8] Extended SFP diagnostics to read fiber-related information.
