High Temparature concentrated solar power plan with particle receiver and direct thermal storage
Clean solar energy with storage can help Europe reduce emissions and deliver a secure and cost-effective electricity supply. EU-funded research suggests that fluidised crystal particles trump molten salts as the heat transfer and storage medium. © Gilles Flamant Current state of the art concentrated solar power (CSP) plants use central receivers with several options for … Continue reading High Temparature concentrated solar power plan with particle receiver and direct thermal storage
