SolarPACES interviews Ryan Garvey, Founder and Principal Research Scientist at Outward Technologies, which has NASA funding to develop its concentrated solar system for resource extraction, surface construction, and habitat development on the Moon and other planetary...
Source: Hagerty A 1985 Audi Sport Quattro has become the first car in the world to run a new solar gasoline, developed by Synhelion. The Swiss company put the Quattro through its paces on the famous Furka Pass, where a sinewy sequence of curves reaches a height of...
Abstract: The solidification and molding of lunar regolith are essential for constructing lunar habitats. This study introduces an innovative lunar regolith molding technique that synergistically combines solar concentration, flexible optical fiber bundle energy...
Researchers have developed a completely different way for Trough CSP to collect solar energy. Normally, in this form of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), long lines of huge ‘trough’-shaped parabolic mirrors move slowly all day as the sun crosses the sky, to keep...
Artificial Intelligence & Digital Twins for Concentrated Solar Power (EU SUN‑DT Project) About the project SUN‑DT (“Smart Use of Novel Digital Tools for advanced performance and reduced costs in CSP tower plants”) is a three‑year Horizon Europe initiative...
Abstract The production of alternative renewable fuels is imperative for decarbonising hard-to-electrify sectors. Dimethyl ether (DME) is an aerosol propellant and a low-emission candidate for fossil fuel substitution. The main conventional DME production process is...

Abstract This research, developed in the framework of the SCARABEUS project, studies the off-design performance of transcritical power cycles running on C2-S2 mixtures in Concentrated Solar Power applications. The objective of this work is to identify optimum...
Abstract This paper proposes and builds the first megawatt thermal (MWth) class particle/supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) fluidized bed heat exchanger system for next generation concentrated solar power (CSP) plant. In this CSP plant, particles were chosen as the...
Abstract This paper aims to present a numerical study that aims to enhance the thermal efficiency of externally finned solar absorber tubes for use in the solar parabolic trough collector (SPTC). Compared to the internal finned tube, the external finned radiation...
Abstract: This paper concerns solar-to-thermal energy conversion processes in an open cavity volumetric receiver for a 50-MWth integrated beam-down receiver-storage concentrating solar thermal system. A multiphysical model was developed in a COMSOL Multiphysics 6.1...
In a comprehensive new study published in Applied Energy, researchers find that a new streamlined version of a star-shaped solar receiver can collect more thermal energy and last significantly longer than today’s cylindrical solar receivers used to collect heat in...
PowerChina Northwest / Energy China Northwest have won bidding to design two 350MW CSP projects This pair of 350MW CSP projects marks the beginning of the third generation of CSP technology in China. Each features three towers, with three solar fields and a central...
Researchers collaborating between ICV-CSIC in Spain and at the Odeillo solar furnace in France have devised a novel way to maximize thermal energy storage in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants. They wanted to encapsulate the maximum amount of the molten salts used...
"Expanding the amount of energy that can be stored in sand is as simple as adding more sand" Craig Turchi, manager of the Thermal Energy Science and Technologies Research Group at NREL has said. In 2018, a team of researchers at the US National Renewable Energy...
