The International SolarEnergy Society ISES is a global organization for promoting the development and utilisation of renewable energy . ISES is a United Nations UN accredited NGO and David S. Renn is the current president. ISES was formed in 1954 as a world wide non profit organisation dedicated to the advancement of the utilisation of solarenergy . ISES is now active in over 105 countries world wide. Its members include scientists and researchers, plus many others from industry, solarenergy associations and other private and public organisations. Aims ISES aims to bring recent developments in solarenergy, both in research and applications, to the attention of decision makers and the general public, in order to increase the understanding and use of this non polluting resource in everyday ... fuelled by the sun and which minimise the consequences of energy use. These technologies can provide sustainable solutions for the supply of energy in both industrialised and developing countries. In spite of a historic focus on direct solarenergy, ISES today is involved in all renewable energy fields.

The Kimberlina renewable energysolar boiler uses Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector CLFR technology to generate superheated steam. Each solar boiler has a group of 13 narrow, flat mirrors, that individually track and focus the sun s heat onto overhead pipes carrying water. The water boils directly into steam. The steam can then spin a turbine to generate electricity or be used as industrial steam for food, oil and desalination processes. The Kimberlina solar boiler currently achieves 750 degree F superheated steam. The next generation solar boiler under construction is designed to achieve 900 degree F superheated steam. AREVA Solar s boiler is the first and only solar boiler certified with an S Stamp by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME . The Kimberlina Solar Thermal Energy Plant was the first of its kind to be built in California in more than 20 years, with the previous plant being the SolarEnergy Generating Systems , which employs solar troughs. ref name sola http apps1.eere.energy.gov news news detail.cfm news id 12066 Ausra Opens its First Concentrating Solar Power Plant in California ref See also Portal Renewable energyEnergy List of concentrating solar thermal power companies List of photovoltaic power stations List of solar thermal power stations Renewable energy in the United States Renewable portfolio standard Solar power in the United States Solar power plants ... rea video tech tour kimberlina solar power plant title Tech Tour Kimberlina Solar Power Plant date November 15, 2010 format video publisher RenewableEnergyWorld.com accessdate 2010 12 02 Solar power ... more details
