RENEWABLES

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:

Electricity production
Thermal production
Seawater desalination
Enhanced Oil Recovery
Energy Storage
Combination of above configurations

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.

Highlights:

CSP technology is nowadays competitive in combination with photovoltaic technology, mainly acting as energy storage and stabilizer, allowing green energy supply for 24 hours
CSP technology has the flexibility engendered by its modularity.
CSP gives the opportunity for sun-rich countries to transition from fossil fuels to solar energy and thereby, for those countries with gas and oil reserves of their own, to export these or redirect them to export higher-value industrial production.
Built primarily using coil steel and glass, more than 70% of CSP plant construction inputs can usually be sourced within each user country thereby building local industry and supporting the country’s balance of payments.

POWER GENERATION COMBUSTION PLANTS

We believe that reliable and stable power generation is the key driver for sustainable economic growth of each Country in the World. Whether located in mature or growing markets, FATA is committed to engineering conventional generation plants by applying the most efficiency technology in order to optimize the usage of natural resources.

FATA has proven experience in providing Engineering, Procurement and Construction services in:

Gas fired open cycle: this power plant configuration includes a Gas Turbine or Engine, fed by fuel to produce only electricity and usually operates as «Peaker Power Producer» when it is necessary to supply electricity to the grid on demand or balance the renewables energy supply.
Gas fired Combined Cycle: this power plant configuration comprises a Gas Turbine coupled to a Heat Recovery Steam Generator to produce superheated steam fed to a Steam Turbine to produce more electricity or simply to co-generate heating power, as for example in «District Heating plants». These plants are usually operated continuously.
Biomass Power Plant: biomass could be an important source of energy where available. It is estimated that approximately 90% of domestic energy consumption in rural areas can be derived from biomass such as fuel wood, agricultural residues (e.g. rice straw and husks) and charcoal. Moreover, biomass fuel is also an important source heat and power for small industries located mainly in rural areas.
Waste to Energy: usually this power plant is made to burn urban and industrial waste to produce electricity. The waste is fed in a boiler to produce superheated steam in turn fed to a Steam Turbine to produce electricity.

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.
