Solar power generation system

This system generates electricity using solar power. Solar collectors heat a fluid in a closed loop, which then transfers that heat to a special storage material inside a thermal energy storage vessel. This storage material is a mix of salt and metal. A second, separate fluid is heated by this stored energy and then drives a turbine to produce electricity.

Why it matters: The fundamental engineering and economic challenges of deploying large-scale solar thermal power plants, particularly those involving tower concentrators and binary cycles, have not significantly changed in the three years since filing.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedTower concentrators, PCM storage, turbine-generator.
