As Next-CSP is coming to an end, we are pleased to announce that the Milestone 4 (MS4) of the project was successfully completed.

The completion of the MS4 consists of the prototype assembly at the Themis Solar Tower facility with the connection between the exchanger and the gas turbine. This connection allows the closed particle circuit and the gas turbine circuit to be linked energetically through the fluidised particle – pressurised air exchanger.

To find out more about key milestones of the project, check out the project’s timeline.
