Fraunhofer-Chile finds PV-CSP combo has better LCOE than gas
Fraunhofer-Chile finds a solar combo (PV-CSP hybrid) generates the same flexible energy as gas, at lower LCOE
Women in Concentrated Solar initiative created
At the SolarPaces Conference 2022, we created a group to support women working in the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) sector. Our goal is to attract and empower women at all levels to develop skills and expertise in the field of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and...
BA student devises algorithm to optimize Tower CSP preheating strategy
Much of the research covered at SolarPACES in concentrated solar power (CSP) is advanced by international post-docs and professors, but as the need for climate solutions advances, it is drawing the attention of younger researchers with STEM backgrounds in mathematics,...
HelioHeat Commercializes the DLR 1000°C Solar Receiver CentRec®
HelioHeat’s 1,000°C heat at just 1 Cent/kWh potentially ends the use of fossil energy for the production of steel, cement, food and chemicals
Solar steam could heat MENA Region industries for less
"But even though the costs, the lifetime returns, and the speedy pay-back proved so competitive, during the three year study, Cuadros found that small and medium businesses were loathe to actually purchase and own novel technology." Only the deep pockets of the oil...
Researchers Reduce Intermittency in Solar Thermochemical Hydrogen Production
A new paper, presented at the SolarPACES Annual Conference proposes using ceria particles not only as the redox reactant in hydrogen production, but for also for heat transfer and storage.
