Some Skepticism on Solar Thermal Power’s Storage Potential
January 24th, 2012 | by John Farrell
Earlier this month, New York Times reporter Matt Wald had a piece on the role of energy storage in supporting the expansion of renewable energy. However, his specific focus on solar thermal power generation overlooks the potentially high costs of relying on solar thermal power and also overlooks the potential for distributed “storehousing” of renewable energy.
Outlook Bright for Molten Salt Thermal Energy Storage as Concentrated Solar Power Grows
August 11th, 2011 | by Andrew
Construction of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants will drive global demand for molten salt thermal energy storage systems out to 2020, making the molten salt thermal energy storage (TES) market the largest of three high-temperature energy storage (HTS) technologies
Another Cheap Way to Store Solar and Wind Power
May 4th, 2011 | by Susan Kraemer
UK startup Isentropic Energy has proposed the simplest of thermal energy storage systems, according to Powermag. Two large containers of gas and gravel, one hot (500C) and one cold (–160C) provide the temperature difference to operate a heat pump. Off-peak surplus wind power or solar energy is used to heat up the contents of the hot tank and to retain that temperature
