US DOE to boost thermochemical energy storage with $20 M for new research projects | CSP World | Concentrated Solar Power News

US DOE to boost thermochemical energy storage with $20 M for new research projects | CSP World | Concentrated Solar Power News | Science Wow Factor | Scoop.it

US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a new funding opportunity (FOA). The “Efficiently Leveraging Equilibrium Mechanisms for Engineering New Thermochemical Storage (CSP: ELEMENTS)“ program will award $20 million to up to 24 projects to research and develop thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems to be applied to Concentrated Solar Power technology.

Projects awarded under this FOA will focus on development and validation of integrated TCES systems with a minimum of six hours of thermal storage to be used in utility-scale CSP plants. Furthermore, TCES system must validate a cost below $15 per kWh-thermal and will operate at temperatures above 650 ºC.

www.esi-africa.com | Has the demand for solar water heaters in South Africa gone cold? | Science Wow Factor | Scoop.it

Supply of solar water heaters far outweighs current demand. Since the inception of the Eskom solar water heater rebate programme in 2008, there has been a phenomenal growth in supply of solar water heaters (SWHs) to the market.

 

Between 2006 and 2010, the number of SWH suppliers in the industry increased from 45 to 700. There are currently approximately 300 active suppliers within the industry. However, a recent study conducted by Frost & Sullivan indicates that the uptake of the product by consumers has not yet been as successful as expected.

Molten Salt receiver for Crescent Dunes CSP plant is complete | CSP World | Concentrated Solar Power News | Science Wow Factor | Scoop.it

SolarReserve has achieved a new milestone in itsCrescent Dunes CSP plant at Nevada. The molten salt receiver has been completely assembled atop the 540 ft tower

Crescent Dunes is a 110 MW tower plant under construction near the town of Tonopah that will be the first US commercial plant to use molten salt as Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF). Thanks to a couple of storage tanks, the molten salt --potassium and sodium nitrate-- heated at the receiver can be stored to be used when there's no sunlight. The plant is designed to operate for up to 10 hours with the stored heat.
