1. Who we are?

As a group company specializing in the field of renewable energy, our primary mission is to provide innovative and sustainable solutions that promote clean energy, a healthier planet, and to tackle climate change. Our international team of experts is dedicated to advancing solar energy technology with a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. We have spent many years designing an efficient solar energy system that can meet the unique needs of our clients across various industries. At GIPCO GmbH, we are committed to creating a brighter, cleaner future using renewable energy sources.

Thanks to our team of international experts, engineers, and researchers, we have developed an advanced design, simulation tool, and software for Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (CSP) technology.

2. What is CSP?

CSP technologies use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver. The energy from the concentrated sunlight heats a high temperature fluid in the receiver. The heat is then used to generate electricity through a steam turbine. It has several advantages over other solar technologies, including the ability to store thermal energy, which can be used to generate electricity even when the sun is not shining. The same basic technology can also be used to deliver heat to a variety of industrial applications, like water desalination, enhanced oil recovery, food processing, chemical productions, and mineral processing.

3. What do we do?

Our proprietary tools enable us to design CSP plants by determining the most optimal solution for the installation location. These tools can meticulously assess mirrors, which are expertly designed to reflect and concentrate the maximum amount of heat onto the receiver.

4.  Applications of CSP

• Electricity generation
• Generation of Heat for:

1. Water desalination plant
2. Enhanced oil recovery plant
3. Food processing plant
4. Chemical production
5. Mineral production
6. Provision of power to other industries, homes, businesses, and communities
7. Energy storage

5.  Why CSP (Benefits for generating electricity using CSP)?

CSP can use energy storage to generate electricity irrespective of weather conditions, like at night or during cloudy weather. The low cost of power, and stability of source of energy are two of the main advantages of this technology.

6. Importance of accurate design.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is based on the principles of irradiation and reflection of sunlight. Our advanced design and analysis tool, CSP-ADA, utilizes detailed calculations to increase the efficiency of the system.

7. The advantages of CSP_ADA software

This software allows us to accurately determine the position of the sun every 7 minutes, which can help us calculate the Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) and perform intelligent recalculation based on user preferences. Our software provides comprehensive coverage of all heliostats and time periods throughout the year. In addition, it conducts a thorough analysis of energy distribution, shadow and blocking positions, light ray divergence calculations, and other related factors.
