MOdular high concentration SolAr Configuration (MOSAIC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2020,

MOSAIC project aims to exceed the goal of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan - European Commission of producing CSP electricity at a cost below 0.10 €/kWh. To exceed this goal a commercial CSP plant of > 1GW of nominal capacity is foreseen, in which high nominal capacity of CSP plant is reached in a modular way where each MOSAIC module delivers thermal energy to linked thermal energy stor ...

SMART RENEWABLE HUBS FOR FLEXIBLE GENERATION: SOLAR GRID STABILITY (GRIDSOL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

Fight against climate change has its main battlefield at the energy sector. Electricity and transport are the largest contributors to GHG emissions; the trend in transport toward electric vehicle will increase pressure on the electricity system and fundamentally change its dynamics. With producers focused on their legitimate business targets, and consumers focused on security of supply and low pri ...

Molten Salt Loop 2.0: key element for the new solar thermal energy plants. (MSLOOP 2.0)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

Despite the encouraging scenario of Wide Solar Thermal Electricity market - it is a reality today with 4.9 GW in operation worldwide in 2015, forecasting 260 GW in 2030, 664GW in 2040 and finally to reach a 12% of total electricity generation by 2050 (982 GW) - CSP growth has been slower than expected because several issues have not been overcome yet. It is not as cost-efficient as other technolog ...

INNOVATIVE CONFIGURATION FOR A FULLY RENEWABLE HYBRID CSP PLANT (HYSOL)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

Renewable energies have often problems in order to provide a stable and reliable power supply, as they often depend on meteorological circumstances that have a variable or stochastic component. This fact is often used by their detractors to favour the use of other alternatives such as fossil fuels.The main added value of the hybridisation concept will be the achievement of the Europe Strategic Ene ...
