The projects seek to improve the performance and increase the efficiency of all components of CSP plants, ultimately lowering the cost of solar electricity.
Doing this will help the country move close to achieving President Obama’s goal of doubling renewable energy generation again by the end of the decade, says David Danielson, assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy.
CSP generates electric power by using mirrors to focus and concentrate the sun’s rays on a receiver, from which a heat transfer fluid carries the thermal energy to a power block to generate electricity.
