Solar Thermoelectricity via Advanced Latent Heat Storage: A Cost-Effective Small-Scale CSP Application
We are developing a novel concentrating solar electricity-generating technology that is both modular and dispatchable. Solar Thermoelectricity via Advanced Latent heat Storage (STEALS) uses concentrated solar flux to generate high-temperature thermal energy, which directly convert...
