Time:2025-12-19


Recently, the "Decision on the 2025 Gansu Provincial Science and Technology Awards" was released. The project "Key Technologies for the Domestic Manufacturing of High-Entropy Solar Absorbing Materials and Absorbers for Tower Solar Thermal Power Generation," in which Shouhang High-Tech Energy Technology Co., Ltd. participated, won the first prize of the Gansu Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award. This award fully affirms Shouhang High-Tech's long-term dedication to core technologies in solar thermal power generation and its continuous efforts to promote the localization and industrial application of key equipment.

 

 

In January 2025, the research project "Research and Demonstration of Key Technologies for High-Temperature Molten Salt Concentrated Solar Power Generation and Thermal Storage Peak Shaving," undertaken by Shouhang High-Tech as the general responsible unit for the Gansu Provincial Department of Science and Technology, successfully passed the expert review organized by the Gansu Provincial Department of Science and Technology. The company collaborated with the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to conduct systematic research on key technologies for tower-type concentrated solar power generation and carried out coating application demonstrations at a 100MW concentrated solar power plant, assisting the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics in completing all project-related tasks with high quality. Through continuous research and unremitting efforts, the project team successfully developed a nano-high-entropy solar energy absorption coating.

 

This coating has a high absorptivity (0.975), good spectral selectivity, excellent adhesion, thermal shock resistance and extremely low optical attenuation, which can effectively improve heat absorption efficiency, reduce system operating losses, significantly reduce the average cost per kilowatt-hour and improve the overall profitability of the power plant.

 

At the same time, the project team made breakthroughs in several key technologies, including the preparation of absorption coatings for large receiver tube screens, in-situ high-altitude repair of coatings, solar concentrating curing, and high-altitude optical performance testing, forming a full life-cycle technical support system covering material research and development, engineering application, operation and maintenance, and repair and upgrade.

 

The research findings have been successfully demonstrated at the first 100MW tower solar thermal power plant in Dunhuang and have passed multiple operational evaluation indicators. These achievements have significantly improved key common technical indicators in the field of solar thermal power generation, such as heat absorption rate, and the overall technical level has reached the international advanced level, providing strong support for the large-scale and commercial development of tower solar thermal power generation in my country.

 

 

Winning the first prize of Gansu Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award is a significant testament to Shouhang High-Tech's technological innovation capabilities and engineering application level. In the future, the company will continue to increase its R&D investment, focusing on tackling key technologies in solar thermal power generation and new energy, accelerating the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, and contributing Shouhang's strength to promoting the high-quality development of my country's clean energy industry and serving the "dual carbon" goals.
