Industry and academia are collaborating to build a world-first, cost-effective concentrated solar thermal (CST) demonstrator.

An illustration of the lightweight plastic mirrors, which are a more cost-effective alternative to traditional glass-based ...

In conventional concentrated solar power plants, the generated thermal energy is used to heat a liquid, usually molten salts, which then acts as thermal energy storage. When power is needed ...

The Solar Towers Jülich are a globally unique research facility for tests using concentrated natural sunlight to generate electricity, heat and fuels. The facility is not only used by DLR researchers, ...

A concentrated solar thermal power system is being considered for Arafura Rare Earths' Nolans rare earths project in the ...

To eliminate all these defects, and to obtain exact measurement of the intensity of solar heat, has been Captain ... convex lens whereby the rays are concentrated upon the calorimeter.

can absorb sunlight and convert it into heat. The left end of the system's rod is exposed to concentrated solar radiation and the right end is in contact with an opaque silicon carbide disk ...

“Those mirrors reflect the heat of the sun to a receiver that ... succeed to get successful at scale,” Shah said. Concentrated solar power won’t die when Ivanpah shuts down.
