French to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation énergies renouvlables
Bonjour; je cherche l'équivalent en anglais de "réplique" dans ce contexte:
"Les Allemands vont construire une réplique de la centrale thermosolaire à tour de Jülic dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre du programme énergie solaire adopté par l’Algérie".


Source: Le quotidien" Horizons".
Centrale thermosolaire à tour: Thermosolar tower plant.
Merci.

thermosolar Although it could be a perfectly respectable neologism, "thermosolar" just isn't very common in English. I'd be inclined to paraphrase, eg the Germans intend to construct a replica of their Jülich thermal solar tower.... Or if you don't like "replica", "identical version" would do nicely.

replica of the central thermosolar tower

I found that replica is a better term than same model or copy, as suggested by others.

Thanks Chris. It can be thermal solar instead of thermosolar.
