US DOE Awarding Up To $62M for Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development

Green Car Congress

CSP technologies concentrate the sun’s energy and capture that energy as heat, which then drives an engine or turbine to produce electrical power. The energy is stored through a chemical reaction, which potentially allows the energy to be stored for a much longer period of time. SENER Engineering and Systems Inc. –

Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction. Solar-thermal systems use sun-tracking mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a receiver, which contains a high-temperature fluid that stores heat.
