changers) which are slow to startup, limited in upscaling and consequently leading to an ever increasing number of equipment. The current situation is unsustainable and undesirable. The Header type Once-Through Steam Generator solves these problems in one piece of equipment. Simply stated, large improvements in plant simplicity and startup time can be gained. Key design philosophies behind the Once-Through Steam Generator include fast startup, durability and simplicity. Making use of thin walled Header type Once-Through Steam Generators improves operating flexibility and fast startup of the total plant. The scalable Once-Through Steam Generator will reduce the number of equipment drastically with the advantage of less occupied area, a simplified plant design and less installation works. In order to increase the energy yield of the concentrated Solar Power Plant even further, NEM also develops a Reheater based on the same principles.
of the total available energy generation time during the day. See figure 1.

Old SituatiOn
The Heat Transfer Fluid, either Thermal Oil or Molten Salt, is heated in the solar field. The Heat Transfer Fluid is led to the Thermal Island of the Concentrated Solar Power Plant where steam is generated. This is done in three separate pieces of equipment: the Economizer, the Evaporator and the Superheater. The maximum acceptable temperature transient of conventional shell and tube heat exchangers is in the order of 8C/min or less, resulting in plant startup times of ten percent or more
