El proyecto presentado en la subvención del TDI-FEDER, corresponde a un proyecto industrial que aporta valor añadido, económico y social, con la realización de actividades de investigación industrial y desarrollo experimental encaminados a desarrollar nuevos productos de monitorización de los parámetros de calidad en plantas termosolares, así como con la inversión en activos nuevos, para la consecución de los objetivos; dentro del marco del Programa de Ayudas a la Industria y a la PYME en Aragón (PAIP) y de la Estrategia Aragonesa para la Recuperación Social y Económica.
Cabe resaltar, el compromiso con el medio ambiente ya que, con el presente proyecto, se pretende mejorar y ampliar los servicios ofrecidos en el campo de las energías renovables, en concreto energía solar, para aumentar la cuota de mercado y los resultados comerciales.
Para alcanzar este cometido, ZEPREN ha llevado a cabo un primer análisis de las soluciones existentes en el sector, en concreto, de los sistemas de medida de atenuación atmosférica, de calibración individual de heliostatos en lazo cerrado y de medida de potencia óptica reflejada por heliostatos.
La conclusión de este primer análisis ha dado lugar a tres vías de investigación, cuyo objetivo común reside en monitorizar los parámetros de interés en operaciones y en el mantenimiento de las plantas termo eléctrica solares, que permiten la mejora y la optimización durante los procesos de generación y obtención de energía solar, respondiendo a las necesidades del mercado:
– Sistema de medida de atenuación atmosférica.
– Sistema de calibración individual de heliostatos en lazo cerrado.
– Sistema de medida de potencia óptica reflejada por heliostatos.

The project submitted for the TDI-FEDER grant corresponds to an industrial project that provides added value, both economically and socially, through the implementation of industrial research and experimental development activities aimed at developing new monitoring products for quality parameters in solar thermal plants. This includes investment in new assets to achieve the objectives, within the framework of the Industrial and SME Support Program in Aragon (PAIP) and the Aragonese Strategy for Social and Economic Recovery.
It’s worth noting the commitment to the environment, as with this project, the intention is to enhance and expand services in the field of renewable energies, specifically solar energy, to increase market share and commercial results.
To achieve this goal, ZEPREN has conducted an initial analysis of existing solutions in the sector, specifically focusing on atmospheric attenuation measurement systems, individual calibration of heliostats in closed-loop, and measurement of optical power reflected by heliostats.
The conclusion of this initial analysis has led to three research directions, with a common objective of monitoring the parameters of interest during operations and maintenance of solar thermal power plants, allowing for improvement and optimization during the processes of solar energy generation and acquisition, in response to market needs:
Today, ZEPREN Solutions has been awarded with the “Innovative SME seal” (Sello PYME Innovadora) by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
The Innovative SME seal is a recognition granted by the Ministry of Science and Innovation to companies whose activity focuses on Research, Development and Innovation. The distinction was created in June 2014, with the aim of establishing a system of positive discrimination among companies that favours those most likely to remain in time, grow and be competitive.
This certificate, valid for the next 3 years, will ease the access to R&D funding and tax incentives, and will support our efforts to continue developing innovative products and solutions for our customers.
