Australian renewable energy company Vast is proud to announce its rebrand, effective from 8th May. The new brand identity is expected to better communicate Vast’s position in the market and improve its visibility among stakeholders. Vast’s target markets have broadened from initially focusing on dispatchable renewable electricity to now include process heat for industrial uses, …

This study aims to assess the performance of the Hybrid Solar Thermal Storage (HSTS) system, the storage system proposed for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. The heat storage hybridisation concept is based on coupling latent phase change material (PCM) and thermochemical storage system containing paired metal hydride (MH) beds. One base design which uses only …
In this solar technology, highly concentrated solar energy directly heats a solar reactor and drives a thermochemical process, using carbon dioxide and water as the raw materials to produce syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The syngas can be converted to liquid transportation fuels using established technologies such as Fischer-Tropsch. Solar reactor used …

Recently, the latest statistics of Gonghe 50 MW concentrated solar power plant, Qinghai Branch of China Power Construction New Energy Group, show that the cumulative power generation of the power station in April 2023 has completed 6,909 thousand KWH, which is the highest monthly power generation record ever since the unit was put into operation. …
Abstract: Solar thermochemical hydrogen (STCH) generation is a promising approach for eco-friendly H2 production, but conventional STCH redox compounds cannot easily achieve desirable thermodynamic and kinetic properties and phase stability simultaneously due to a rather limited compositional space. Expanding from the nascent high-entropy ceramics field, this study explores a new class of compositionally complex perovskite …
On April 28, CGN New Energy (Ali) Co., Ltd issued an announcement on its 150 MW snow-covered plateau «Zero-carbon» light-storage thermal power demonstration project (50MW light-heat part) concentrating heat collection system equipment (re-bidding) of CGN New Energy Ngari Xizang. Project Overview: The proposed site of the project is about 7 km south of Shiquanhe Town, …
