TSEP#150 CSP – How Concentrated Solar Power Works
Manage episode 376901651 series 2951090
A really hot topic: Using solar energy through highly concentrated mirror systems, we can achieve high temperatures of 150 - 1500 Celsius to drive power cycles (electricity generation) or industrial processes such as cement production or green hydrogen. The technology is commonly known as concentrating solar power (CSP) and typically includes storage to provide energy even when the sun is not shining.
But how far along is CSP technology? How does it differ from PV? Where is the greatest potential? And what role will CSP play in a future renewable energy mix?
We talk to Wes Stein. He is Chief Research Scientist for Solar Technologies at CSIRO, Australia's national science organization and chair of the SolarPaces Conference 2023.
Timeline:
02:22 How does CSP work, what are the main advantages & differences to PV?
08:55 What role does CSP play in providing heat for industrial processes?
13:13 Current global market: What is the current market for CSP? Which countries & regions have the most potential?
17:56 Future prospects and current R&D hot topics
