A Comprehensive Comparison Of Photovoltaic (PV) And Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Technologies In Terms Of Efficiency, Cost, And Environmental Footprint

Dec 29, 2023 | helioscsp.com | Mohan Gupta |Jose Santamarta

The quest for sustainable and clean energy sources has propelled the development of various solar technologies to harness the abundant energy radiating from the sun. Among these technologies, Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems have emerged as promising solutions, each with its unique characteristics and applications. This column delves into a detailed comparison of PV and CSP technologies, focusing on their efficiency, cost considerations, and environmental impacts.
The Future Is Bright for Turning Sunlight Into Sustainable Jet Fuel

The aviation sector has charted a course to decarbonize itself – and investors see opportunity. According to BNEF, startups with a focus on low-carbon aviation technology raised $4.6 billion in 2022, and another $1.21 billion was added to that tally in the first half of 2023. Among venture capital and private equity investments, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) startups have drawn the most attention.
Study on the dynamic characteristics, control strategies and load variation rates of the concentrated solar power plant

Dec 28, 2023 | helioscsp.com | Jose Santamarta

As more and more wind power and photovoltaic power are connected to the electrical power system, it brings great challenges to the stability of power grid. Concentrated solar power (CSP) plant with thermal energy storage (TES) can undertake the task of load regulation and frequency regulation in power grid by balancing the electricity demand and generation. However, the maximum load variation rates of the CSP plant are not known, which restricts sufficient utilization of its advantages.
US releases rule ensuring only green hydrogen gets $3/kg tax credit

Dec 25, 2023 | helioscsp.com | Jose Santamarta

The US government has finally unveiled its long-awaited proposed rules on clean hydrogen production, determining the criteria that developers will have to meet in order to qualify for the hydrogen tax credit of up to $3 per kilogram.
Pros and Cons of Concentrated Solar Power

Dec 24, 2023 | helioscsp.com | Jose Santamarta

Along with photovoltaic solar energy and wind energy, there is another renewable technology that takes advantage of our main energy resource, the sun, to produce electricity: solar thermoelectric, thermosolar or concentrated solar power. Its operating principle is based on the use of mirrors that concentrate the sun’s radiation to obtain steam, which is then directed towards the blades of a turbine to move them and thus produce electricity.
Optimal design of a concentrated solar power plant with a thermal energy storage

The non-renewable energy resources in the world are severely restricted, and the energy crisis has become the most crucial challenge for humanity in the current age [1], [2], [3]. The use of alternative energies, such as renewable energies, can overcome this crisis [4], [5]. In addition, the destructive effects of non-renewable energies, especially fossil fuels, on the environment have increased the importance of developing energy technologies [6].

EU looks to free itself from Russian energy using world’s largest concentrated solar power plant: ‘Reliability is key’

Dec 21, 2023 | helioscsp.com | Leo Collis |Jose Santamarta

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has accelerated attempts by European nations to move away from energy typically sourced from the largest country in the world. Oil, gas, and coal have been exported from Russia in vast quantities for years, but alternatives are now being sought to meet national energy demands without having to import from a country that is waging an illegal war.
Chile, 17 hours of storage with Concentrated Solar Power

Dec 20, 2023 | helioscsp.com | Jose Santamarta

In the Atacama Desert, the driest in the world located in northern Chile, the only Concentrated Solar Power tower in Latin America operates, a symbol of an energy revolution in the making against climate change. Aerial view of Cerro Dominador, the first concentrated solar power plant in Latin America, in Antofagasta, Chile. The imposing 240-meter construction is one of the pillars of the ambitious Chilean green energy program that began in 2019 and aims to completely replace fossil fuels by 2040.
