U.S. researchers have developed a heat exchanger material for advanced high-temperature Concentrated Solar Power plants that can be manufactured at lower costs than existing materials, project leaders told New Energy Update. Higher-temperature Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant designs have been become a key research area for developers seeking to cut costs and widen market opportunities. …
Higher-temperature CSP plant designs have been become a key research area for developers seeking to cut costs and widen market opportunities. Until now, CSP plants have typically used oil or molten salt as heat transfer fluid, limiting temperatures to around 550 degrees C. Higher temperature plants could increase the efficiency of converting heat to electricity, …
