Will India be a bigger concentrated solar thermal power than China? Last year there was very little talk of India becoming one of the biggest markets for CSP. Today the question on everybody’s lips is: Will India be a bigger CSP power than China? As the founder of CSP Today and organizer of the 1st [...]
Sopogy, Inc., a leader in MicroCSP™ solar power technology development, manufacturing and installation, will supply its proprietary micro-scaled concentrated solar thermal collectors to the Keahole Solar Power (KSP) five-megawatt plant in Kalaeloa located on Oahu’s Leeward Coast. The project, named “Kalaeloa Solar One”, is a partnership between the State of Hawaii’s Department of Hawaiian Home [...]
SolarReserve today announced the opening of its new office in Las Vegas for staff leading development and construction of a 100-megawatt utility-scale solar thermal plant located near the town of Tonopah, in Nye County. In addition to the Tonopah project, the new office staff will pursue additional solar development opportunities in Nevada. Utilizing an advanced [...]
Powered Entirely from the Sun’s Energy A solar thermal power plant in principle works no differently than a conventional steam power plant. However, there is one important difference. No harm is done to the environment by burning coal, oil, natural gas or by splitting uranium to produce steam. There are no byproducts to store or [...]
If you were able to purchase a low cost highly reliable solar thermal electric system for your business or as homeowner you were able to purchase clean energy at the same or lower prices than from your local coal plant would you? Well the technology to make this a reality is coming closer as enterprising [...]
Six “transformational” energy research and development projects to have been selected to receive $9.6 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. These projects round out the selections made by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). The projects include two solar research initiatives. Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC, based in Thousand [...]
Abengoa Solar partners with JGC Corporation to jointly own two 50 megawatt Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants in Spain. The two solar plants represent a total investment of more than 500 million euros. Abengoa Solar and JGC Corporation (“JGC”) have formed a partnership to own two 50 megawatt Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants in El [...]
The Solar Technology Acceleration Center (SolarTAC),the nation’s largest solar energy technology testing facility, announces the addition of the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC (Alliance), which manages and operates the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), as a sponsoring member. Located in Colorado, near Denver International Airport, SolarTAC is a private, member-based, 74-acre [...]
The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE conducts research on small and medium-sized solar thermal power plants that can quickly make an important contribution to sustainable energy supply. Concentrating collectors generate temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius, with a varied benefits : electricity , refrigeration and industrial process heat. Solar thermal power plants over [...]
Oteegee Innovations Inc. has announced that they are arranging to build the proof of concept prototype for the thermal solar collector technology. The patent application has been filed with the USPTO and with the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and certain non-PCT countries. Solar-thermal collectors harness heat from the sun for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) power [...]
Following a popular vote among peers and conference attendees at the Fourth Concentrated Solar Power Summit for the first US CSP Today Industry Awards, the Stirling Energy Systems (SES) SunCatcher technology was honored with the Best Commercialized Technological Innovation Award. SES received the award for its SunCatcher technology advancements that led to its commercialization in [...]
SolarReserve, a California-based developer of utility-scale solar power projects, begins next steps on its Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project in conjunction with NV Energy’s receipt of approval from the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) today. This approval follows on last December’s announcement that SolarReserve’s wholly owned subsidiary, Tonopah Solar Energy LLC, and NV Energy [...]
The Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA), an educational and research non-profit focused on helping utilities integrate solar into their energy portfolios, will lead 18 utility executives and managers to Japan on its third annual Solar Fact Finding Mission from July 25 to 30. While abroad, the delegation will meet with Japanese utilities, government officials, and [...]
