New software combining dispatch algorithms with probabilistic forecasting could reduce Concentrated solar power (CSP) bid prices by a quarter and spur fresh U.S. CSP deployment, Mike Wagner, Principal Investigator at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), told New Energy Update. On October 1, NREL launched a new three-year study into optimized CSP dispatch software that …
Power has been produced from what is claimed to be the first commercially operated concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in China. The Delingha solar thermal power station, located in central China and operated by China General Nuclear Power Group, has a total capacity of 50MW plant – equivalent to the power produced by 60,000 tonnes …
US-based GlassPoint Solar, a leading supplier of solar energy to the oil and gas industry, said it has signed a deal with Occidental of Oman for the development of a 2 GW solar thermal energy plant at the Mukhaizna oilfield in the sultanate. As the lead developer of the proposed project, GlassPoint would deploy its …
