How will the pellet tower Concentrated Solar Power system lift several tons of hot sand?

Sandia Laboratories, USA, recently published a paper on the heat transfer cost analysis of using sand particles such as bauxite as heat transfer medium to transfer heat at temperatures up to 1500°C in tower solar thermal (CSP) power generation technology. The subject is one of the first to fully investigate [...]
