Upon discharge from a nuclear reactor, the UNF is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools surrounded by water. Most of the nation’s used fuel is stored at more than 70 reactor sites across the country. It is later removed from the pools and placed into dry storage casks with protective shielding. Award amount: $4,900,000).

The California-based Hyperlight Energy will be piloting an installation where they plan to use existing oil wells as solar thermal wellsprings, with the stored energy being converted back to clean electricity when required. to test the concept for the first time. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”

Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction. The closed-loop system has a record 17.5-hour

Under the FOCUS program, projects will develop advanced solar converters that turn sunlight into electricity for immediate use, while also producing heat that can be stored at low cost for later use as well as innovative storage systems that accept both heat and electricity from variable solar sources.

chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Just like we put food in the refrigerator, we can store it for days or weeks without eating it immediately or discarding it. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage.

a) Hybrid solar converter (award Categories 1A and 1B). Penetration of PV will ultimately be limited unless breakthrough technologies enable hours of electricity generated by PV to be cost-effectively stored. Category 1A covers the development of advanced hybrid solar converter technologies and prototypes. Source: ARPA-E.
