small-scale hybrid power plant with CSP and biogas boiler was built at the University ENIT as a laboratory for research and education. The CSP system consists of parabolic trough collectors operating in direct steam generation (DSG) concept. An ORC turbine with a newly developed generator design generates up to 65 kW electrical from low temperature steam. Additionally, biomass anaerobic digestion and phase change storage are demonstrated. While the commissioning of the plant is scheduled for the end of August 2017, commissioning of the single components has already been successfully completed. Highlights and main results from installation and commissioning period are published within this paper.
