The molten salt mixture deployed in today’s commercial CSP plants for thermal energy storage is liquid at 565°C and degrades at higher temperatures. Yet higher temperatures would increase thermal efficiency. So how can we develop a molten salt mix that can reach temperatures up to 620°C without degradation? And at the same time, how can …

Concentrated Solar Power is a multipurpose technology: it can generate electricity (day and night), it can produce heat for industrial processes (for drying and dehydration, sterilization, pasteurization, washing) and it can store energy (in thermal salt tanks that store the sun’s heat during the day and release it at night to generate energy). We spoke …
IEA forecasts deployment of up to 430GW of new Concentrated Solar Power capacity globally by 2050 for on-grid applications alone. Vast Solar going public via a merger with Nabors Energy Transition Corp. (NYSE: NETC). NETC is the only SPAC focused on energy transition with a major corporate backer. Vast Solar uses a next-generation technology that …

In sunny locations, solar power can sometimes produce too much electricity for the grid. Australian company RayGen hopes to solve this problem by combining its hi-tech solar systems with thermal storage, as Richard Stevenson reports. Hybrid hope RayGen’s first power plant, near Carwarp in Australia, makes use of its new technology that combines solar cells …

Construction is currently in progress at the Redstone Concentrated Solar Power Project, which is situated in the Humansrus Solar Park, in the Northern Cape, between Tsanstabane and Kgatelopele. 100 megawatts (MW) of electricity will be added to the national grid after construction concludes, expectedly in 2023. By 2024, the plant will start operations. Under South …
Three years ago, Abengoa thermal energy storage engineer Cristina Prieto exchanged the relatively secretive world of commercial CSP for academia. Now, as the professor for a newly created thermal energy storage discipline at the School of Engineering at the University of Seville, she can be creative at the research level. From the paper Thermal energy …
