Smart Use Of Novel Digital Tools for advanced performance and reduced costs in CSP tower plants

SUN-DT is a Horizon Europe project aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the European CSP tower plants sector, as well as that of its supplier digitalisation companies.

What Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) delivers

Clean Energy

CSP captures and stores the sun's heat to deliver renewable electricity day and night, even when the sun isn't shining.

Grid Stability on Demand

Unlike intermittent renewables, CSP can ramp up when needed, keeping the power grid stable and ensuring the lights stay on.

Large-Scale Impact

CSP plants are designed for utility-scale power, delivering high-capacity electricity to power cities and industries.

Decarbonizing the Future

By providing reliable, round-the-clock clean power, CSP drastically reduces carbon emissions and air pollution.

Local Jobs and Long-Term Value

CSP projects create skilled local jobs during construction and operation, strengthening communities and local economies.

Proven and Scalable Technology Ready for Deployment

With plants operating around the world, CSP is a mature technology ready for deployment at scale.

How SUN-DT empowers CSP

Lower Costs, Higher Efficiency

Smart digital controls boost energy yields while reducing operational downtime.

Field-Proven Results

Validation in real commercial plants across different CSP tower configurations.

Smarter Operations

Predictive tools detect issues early and optimise plant performance through data-driven decisions.

Strengthening European Industry

Enhances competitiveness of European CSP and digital industries through home-grown innovation.
