Most people have seen solar photovoltaic panels mounted on rooftops or lined up across sunny fields, but fewer people are as familiar with concentrating solar power (CSP). This form of solar power uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto a receiver filled with fluid. The sunlight heats the fluid, producing energy, which can be used to generate [...]
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Sandia National Laboratories, co-leads of the Heliostat Consortium, announced seven awardees from a request for proposals (RFP) aimed at achieving DOE’s goals for heliostat cost reduction, sustained multifaceted innovation, and improved solar field performance. Low-cost heliostats offer significant renewable energy potential. They enable 5 cents [...]
Los materiales de perovskita pueden tener el potencial de desempeñar un papel importante en un proceso para producir hidrógeno de manera renovable, según un análisis de científicos del Laboratorio Nacional de Energía Renovable (NREL). El hidrógeno se ha convertido en un importante vector para almacenar energía generada por recursos renovables, como sustituto de los combustibles [...]
