Research Summary

Molten salt solar energy thermal storage and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems are components of a renewable energy technology that harnesses the power of the sun to generate electricity. CSP systems use large mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a receiver, which absorbs the solar energy and transfers it to a working fluid, often a molten salt mixture. The high-temperature molten salt is then stored in insulated tanks. This thermal energy can be stored for later use, allowing for continuous power generation even when the sun is not shining. When electricity is needed, the stored thermal energy is utilized to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator, thus converting the thermal energy into electricity. The advantage of molten salt as a thermal storage medium is its ability to retain heat at high temperatures for extended periods, enabling continuous power generation even during cloudy periods or at night. CSP systems with molten salt thermal storage have the potential to provide a reliable and dispatchable source of renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
