Today, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that the United States will host the world’s biggest conference on concentrating solar power (CSP) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In October 2020, SolarPACES (Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems), a program of the International Energy Agency, will bring together researchers from around the world to talk about the …
Atlantica Yield has signed the purchase of 100 percent of ASI Operations to Abengoa, the company that provides the operation and maintenance services of the Solana and Mojave concentrated solar power plants in the United States. The amount of this transaction, sealed on July 30, is 6 million dollars (5.3 million euros) and the company …
Researchers will develop innovative additively-manufactured heat exchangers for Solar Thermal Power Generation. The University of California, Davis was selected to receive a $2.2 million dollar award from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) to advance solar technologies. UC Davis will advance concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) research and development. CSP concentrates incoming …
Rising power demand and renewables in Texas could support several gigawatts of Concentrated Solar Power capacity in the 2030s but gas and battery prices remain a key risk for developers, Caitlin Murphy, Senior Energy Policy Analyst at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), told New Energy Update. Cost reductions pursued by CSP developers could reinvigorate …
Up to $33M is available under the US Department of Energy SETO office to support the development of low-cost storage technologies for Concentrated Solar Power that make solar-thermal energy available on demand. In addition, the office is seeking projects that lower Concentrated Solar Power costs by supporting the development of advanced manufacturing processes and developing …
