ASES Concentrating Solar Power Division Newsletter May 2012

Renewable energy has been becoming an attractive and competitive energy source for industrial and household use. In big solar power plants continuous production of renewable energy is a challenge due to change in weather or meeting the variable demand of the power plant. In addition, the solar power plants are not utilized more than 10 or 12 hours because the sun is not available. Thermal energy storage provides a reasonable solution to tackle the above problems. There are three major techniques to store thermal energy. One of them is sensible heat storage technique where in thermal energy is stored by heating the solid or liquid medium and then take the heat to run the power plant. Currently molten salt is used as a medium to store thermal energy. Since energy is a competitive business DOE is interested in developing technologies that can reduce the cost of thermal energy...
