Final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 in Seville with a tour of Europe's largest solar process heat plant
The final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 took place in Seville. Europe's largest solar process heat plant was visited as part of the meeting. It was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.

Icing on structures on the nacelle of a wind turbine
Webcam image of superstructures on the nacelle of a wind turbine with recognizable icing, which corresponds to the structure and consistency of clear ice directly on the structures and changes to hard rime as it progresses. The turbine is located at a test site of the Nergica center of applied research in eastern Canada. The webcam image is part of a dataset in the “Task 54 Icing Event Database”.
