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”.

Modeled performance envelopes of rotor blade heating systems
Modeled performance envelopes as curves depending on wind speed and ambient temperature for different values of liquid water content (LWC) and surface temperature of the rotor blade. The curves were calculated with the “Task 54 Performance Envelope Model”.

Task65 - Solar Akademie - SACREEE
The IEA SHC Solar Academy and SOLTRAIN (Southern African Solar Thermal Training and Demonstration Initiative) hosted with the support of SACREEE and SANEDI a specialized course for professionals on Solar Cooling for Sunbelt Regions at Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study in South Africa. A total of 46 participants from 7 countries took part, with around 8 of them participating virtually. https://task65.iea-shc.org/Data/Sites/1/publications/IEA-SHC-Solar-Update--Solar-Academy-SACREEE.pdf
