Sandia breaks ground on its Gen-3 particle-based Concentrated Solar Power tech demo

The pilot at Sandia will demonstrate its next-generation high-temperature concentrated solar technology that can be used for energy storage, power production, industrial process heat, or solar fuel production. Among the challenges addressed during the particle-based high-temperature solar technology developed at Sandia is that at any one time, almost 3 tons of hot sand would be …

Sandia breaks ground on its Gen-3 particle-based CSP tech demo

Among the challenges addressed during the particle-based high-temperature solar technology developed at Sandia is that at any one time, almost 3 tons of hot sand would be in free fall for about 5 seconds hitting the pile beneath at 60 meters a second.  The pilot at Sandia will demonstrate its next-generation high-temperature concentrated solar technology …
