ENERGY
INFRASTRUCTURE
FATA has recently expanded its EPC portfolio to energy infrastructure as the HVDC links, typically used for connecting two asynchronous, non-embedded AC systems and for long-distance bulk power transmission using both overhead land lines and submarine cables. These mega infrastructures fall within the energy transition objectives set by the National Integrated Plan for Energy and Climate (PNIEC), will contribute to achieving the phase-out goal from coal by increasing transport capacity, enhancing the security, adequacy and flexibility of the national electricity transmission grid and promoting the integration of the domestic market and renewable sources. Fata SpA therefore confirms itself as one of the most important Italian companies in the energy and plant engineering sector, as well as a reference player in supporting the ecological and energy transition underway in our country.

RENEWABLE
ENERGY PLANTS
Solar and Wind are driving a significant clean energy revolution in today’s world. Renewable power is a booming sector that brings the benefit of lower emissions of carbon and other types of pollution, thus helping to fight climate change.
In the last years we have matured a strong know-how in Green Power Generation, with special focus on Concentrating Solar Power Plants and in so doing have gained a leading position in such technology.
CONCENTRATING SOLAR POWER
The Concentrating Solar Power Plant is a renewable technology producing electricity from solar power. The first mention of the use of concentrating solar power derives from ancient Greece in Sicily (Italy), where Archimedes in 214-212 BC, used bronze shields to concentrate the sun’s rays onto invading Roman ships which, according to the myth, caught fire. The first documented use of concentrating solar power technology was in 1866, where Augustin Mouchot used parabolic troughs to heat water and produce steam to run the first solar steam engine.
The first operational concentrating solar power plant was built in Sant’Ilario, Italy in 1968 by Professor Giovanni Francia. This plant has architectural similarities to modern plants with its central receiver surrounded by a field of solar collectors. After more than 2,200 years Fata is building CSP Plants in Sicily, where the myth of concentrating the sun’s rays was born. The Concentrating Solar Plant consists essentially of special mirrors, that reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a “receiver”. The receiver heats a solution of Molten Salts, up to about 550°C, which are fed to a Steam Generator to produce superheated steam, used in a Steam Turbine to produce electricity.
The advantage of this technology is the possibility to continue the production of electrical energy for up to 24 hours during the night or in absence of sunlight, making use of the hot salts accumulated in the special thermal energy storage (TES) facility. Moreover a combination plant configuration consisting in CSP technology and classical PV (photovoltaic) technology increases the overall efficiency, optimizing the energy production and self-consumption, and improving the capability of supplying energy continuously. This scalable source of energy can be used in the following fields of applications:
The linear mirror collector technology stores the sun’s energy as high-temperature heat to be converted to steam when needed. The steam produced can be fed to a Steam Turbine to produce electrical energy or used directly as thermal energy. Sunlight is concentrated through linear collectors where parallel rows of flat-glass mirrors reflect direct solar radiation onto a fixed-position receiver unit. The receiver uses vacuum absorber tubes wherein molten salt is pumped and heated to 550°C. The molten salts, heated by the daytime solar energy, are stored in a Thermal Energy Storage system.
The hot molten salt is used in a Salt/Water Heat Exchanger to convert the collected heat into steam. The total amount of stored energy can be dispatched on a day-ahead basis to match the Customers’ steam demand curve. The HP steam superheated up to 540°C, is capable of satisfy in the whole range of steam applications.
