Abstract: A heating medium composition for solar thermal power generation system, the heating medium composition including a silane coupling agent represented by formula (1) shown below and a heating medium containing diphenyl ether: (1) wherein each of OR1, OR2 and OR3 may be the same or different, and represents an alkoxy group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and X is a group selected from a 3-glycidoxypropyl group, a 3-methacryloxypropyl group, a 3-aminopropyl group, an N-phenyl-3-aminopropyl group and an N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl group.

Abstract: Manageable hybrid plant using photovoltaic and solar thermal technology and associated operating method, wherein said hybrid plant comprises three levels of generation: Level 1 (1) of photovoltaic generation (42) covering the self consumption of the plant; Level 2 (2) of generation of the solar thermal plant (44) and another part of photovoltaic generation (45) that covers the consumption of the auxiliary services of the solar thermal plant (43); Level 3 (3) of generation of another area of photovoltaic production (46) that improves the total production curve, the total power generated by the hybrid plant and discharged into the network (47), being the result of the sum of generation of the three levels. The photovoltaic modules of the invention are located in: in the north or south side of the tower not occupied by the cavity; the area surrounding the solar receivers of the tower; on covers or roofs of the plant at the rear of the heliostats; on land annexed to the tower plant.
