Why We’ll Need CSP’s Solar Thermal Energy Next
What if we could switch on the energy of the sun like turning on a tap? Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is the form of solar that can be switched on when it’s needed.

TuNur Night-time Solar Exports to EU for 10 cents – Q&A
Europe already imports energy long-distance: via natural gas pipelines from Russia. TuNur plans round-the-clock solar via HVDC from Tunisia
Why PV Will Alter the Electric Grid
PV is revolutionary. Its cost-effective simplicity is why it is completely changing the 21st century grid.
CSP to be Essential by 2050 …for Germany?
Given Germany’s lack of desert sun, it might seem improbable that thermal solar would be a key component of its low-carbon grid planning under its Energiewende (energy transition). But several papers published in 2016 found that concentrated solar power (CSP) will be essential.
LCOE is an Outdated Metric for a Solar Grid
The electric grid has changed since 1917. So should our way to evaluate what’s on it. For nearly all of its first century, all electricity was baseload.To compare costs between these various forms of baseload generation, a common metric, LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) made sense. But that has changed, because the grid has changed. […]
SolarPACES to Optimize Chile’s Clean Energy Grid
Chile will be next to benefit from an analysis; developed in Germany, of optimal clean energy grid options A new computational tool will be used by international researchers at SolarPACES to calculate the best technology mix of generation resources to most cost-effectively cover Chile’s load curve. The modeling tool was initially developed at Aachen University, […]
