The aim of this WP is to establish working groups for experts and round tables for potential users and emerging companies to facilitate the:

  • Development of CSP standards for qualification of CSP components and plants.
  • Development and publication of specifications and/or standards in a standardization approach driven by demand.
  • Initiation of process for development of a European CSP Standard.
  • Dissemination of standardization activities and new CSP standard.
    • Major expected impact of these activities is to widely spread the knowledge about SFERA.
This approach will exploit knowledge gained in the project to relevant and interested stakeholders and integrate them into standardization activities, assuring that relevant requirements are considered in standardization while at the same time familiarizing stakeholders with the knowledge and generating user potential for the new standards.


The Approach of SFERA on CSP Standardization

This deliverable summarizes the activities of the project SFERA Solar Facilities for the European Research Area concerning standardization; it explains how standardization is organized on the International, European and national levels, with focus on solar applications in general and on concentrated solar power, to set the backdrop for activities of the project concerning standardization. Recommendations on further handling standardization to exploit the benefits of standardization activities in a research project in view of a second phase of the project are given as well.
