Progress in Research and Development of Molten Chloride Salt

Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants with thermal energy storage (TES) system are emerging as one kind of the most promising power plants in the future renewable energy system, since they can supply dispatchable and low-cost electricity with abundant but

Molten chloride salts for next generation concentrated solar power

Molten chloride salts are promising advanced high-temperature (400–800 °C) thermal energy storage (TES) and heat transfer fluid (HTF) materials in next generation concentrated solar power (CSP) plants for higher energy conversion efficiencies.

How does molten salt thermal energy storage work in CSP

In trough CSP, the heat is absorbed by a heat transfer fluid (HTF), usually an oil, and can be stored in molten salts as well. Molten Salt Thermal Energy Storage Process. Heating the Molten Salt: In tower CSP systems, the molten salt is pumped up to the receiver at the top of the tower and heated to around 565°C by concentrated sunlight. In

Optimizing Concentrated Solar Power: High‐Temperature Molten Salt

Molten salts (MSs) thermal energy storage (TES) enables dispatchable solar energy in concentrated solar power (CSP) solar tower plants. CSP plants with TES can store excess thermal energy during periods of high solar radiation and release it when sunlight is unavailable, such as during cloudy periods or at night.
