Bluesolar, una innovadora patente desarrollada por las empresas andaluzas Ghenova y Capsun en Sevilla, fusiona tecnología fotovoltaica y termosolar en una sola planta, permitiendo la generación de electricidad tanto de día como de noche a un coste competitivo. Esta tecnología, conocida como Spire y comercializada bajo la marca Bluesolar, utiliza filtros ópticos para aprovechar el [...]
The cost of renewable energy has significantly decreased in recent years, which marks the way towards a fully renewable and sustainable future. However, this energy transition is not possible without massive grid-scale energy storage technology since most of the renewable energies are highly variable. In areas with a high solar resource, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) [...]
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 [...]
El Proyecto HYIELD, co-financiado por el programa de la Comisión Europea Horizon Europe, persigue desarrollar una nueva vía para la valorización de residuos junto con la producción de hidrógeno verde. Integrado por 16 socios de España, Francia, Luxemburgo, Noruega, Alemania y Suiza, la iniciativa va a invertir €15,5 millones para construir una planta de demostración [...]
The boy who returns. The return of Concentrated Solar Power to guarantee green energy 24 hours a day
An old system is gaining popularity among researchers for its versatility and cost-effectiveness in providing clean fuel. Concentrated solar power (CSP), which had been nearly driven out of business by low-cost solar photovoltaics, is now making a comeback. Quantum learns that NTPC, the state-owned power generation company, recently sent out probes to several companies asking [...]
Tendrá en cuenta el escenario de la actualización del PNIEC 2023-2030, con metas muy ambiciosas de renovables, producción de hidrógeno o almacenamiento, para aumentar la electrificación de la economía Buscará minimizar el impacto ambiental, maximizando la utilidad de los actuales pasillos eléctricos y priorizando las redes existentes frente a nuevos trazados e infraestructuras El Ministerio [...]
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 [...]
In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant with a thermal energy storage system to produce 120 megawatts of electrical energy was designed using Thermoflex. As non-renewable resources are limited, to move towards sustainable development, the importance of developing alternative technologies such as optimized solar power generation systems becomes considerable. To eliminate the gap [...]
A research project conducted by Germany’s Fraunhofer IEE Institute and partners aims to explore the potential production of green hydrogen from concentrated solar power (CSP) in Chile and pave the way for the development of large-scale production facilities in the Latin American country.
