Improved Solar Thermal Energy Storage Could Replace Coal Plants
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6J552)
New South Wales, Australia, reached a record high and more efficient critical milestone temperature of 803 C for concentrated solar thermal energy storage. Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight, converting it to heat, which can then be stored or used to generate electricity. Heated ceramic particles act like a battery, storing energy ...
