CSP News & Analysis

  • Heliostats get a concentration boost by bending and twisting the mirror with a mechanical frame
    Heliostat concentration boosted by shape-shifting glass 25 Sep 2023
  • The “cold” (500 C) sodium comes into the center panels in the receiver and then in a serpentine pattern flows up and down through five panels on each side. The tubes are bent at the top and bottom like springs to help relieve some of the stress due to thermal expansion as the receivers heat up.
    Australia’s liquid sodium solar receiver to be on show in October 18 Sep 2023
  • Maersk green methanol ships
    Australia’s Vast CSP to include green methanol demo for shipping 6 Sep 2023
  • Crescent Dunes is now delivering solar energy at night in Nevada
    What happened with Crescent Dunes? 23 Aug 2023
  • How can Synhelion's solar receiver reach such high temperatures?
    How can Synhelion’s solar receiver achieve such high temperatures? 16 Aug 2023
  • Cargo shipping will be very different in 2050. Increasingly, the shipping industry is looking at green ammonia fuel to decarbonize
    Sandia’s green ammonia research matters for a global shipping future 21 Jul 2023
  • Three Gorges’ new Chinese CSP project tries a double solar field 14 Jul 2023
  • “Now a lot of our pipeline of companies that we’re in discussion with is in Australia, where electricity prices are high, so electrifying is just far too expensive,” he said.
    Australian mining to decarbonize with GlassPoint’s solar steam 12 Jul 2023
  • AELIUS to champion green ammonia for China’s shipping 22 Jun 2023
  • Fractal textured metal prevents corrosion in Gen3 CSP

  • Thermochemical energy storage to deliver Gen3 solar 365 days/yr 1 Jun 2023
  • Solar reactor with heat recovery at ETH Zurich
    Heat-recovery for a solar reactor is tested at ETH Zürich 8 May 2023
  • High-temperature molten salt degradation at over 620°C gets an oxygen fix that also solves tank corrosion as well
    Oxygen fix for high-temperature molten-salt degradation (and corrosion) at 620°C 3 May 2023

CSP Tech Explainers

  • How solar fuels work: thermochemistry
  • How CSP Works: Tower, Trough, Fresnel or Dish
  • How solar thermal energy storage works
  • Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) used to be seen as competing with solar PV, but actually it competes with natural gas to stabilize the grid How solar thermal power replicates the grid services of natural gas power plants

Recent Journal Publications

  • Published at Solar Energy – Progress in research and technological advancements of commercial concentrated solar thermal power plants 25 Sep 2023
