Notably, when incorporated into polymers, such as polyurethane foams, expandable graphite significantly enhances their flame retardancy, making them suitable for critical applications that prioritize safety, such as automotive interiors and building materials. Expandable Graphite for Energy Storage Beyond its flame retardancy, expandable graphite has also emerged ...
The rising share of renewables in the power sector poses new challenges and requires to rapidly scaling up energy storage systems to address the hour-to-hour variability of wind and solar PV. ...
Summary Thermal energy storage plays a key role in the energy transition process. ...
Morocco extends tender deadline for 230 MW Noor Midelt II project The Moroccan Sustainable Energy Agency (Masen) has extended the tender deadline for the 230 MW Noor Midelt II CSP-PV project by a "few additional weeks" to later this month, Moroccan media reported October 9. The Noor Midelt II tender was launched in July and developers originally had until September 16 to submit their project ...
The consortium, which includes the UAE's Masdar and Morocco's Green of Africa, will build an 800 MW facility with five hours of energy storage capacity, the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) said. ...
Concentrated solar power market size is set to witness growth on account of growing adoption of renewable energy driven by favorable governments initiatives. For instance, in 2017, National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC) of China has drafted a policy to increase the 2030 renewable energy target from 20% to 35%. ...

Thermodynamic optimisation for latent heat thermal energy storage unit (LHSU) is carried out using the theory of minimisation of entropy generation number. The influence of key parameters like heat transfer fluid (HTF) inlet temperature, initial temperature of phase change material (PCM) and mass flow rates of HTF on entropy generation number is analysed. Analysis is carried out for two PCMs, ...
Therefore as PV and wind integration increases, the thermal energy storage capability of CSP becomes a significant feature that will drive projects forward for years to come. In a recent interview Kristin Hunter, spokesperson for BrightSource Energy, developers of the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, ...
Nowadays for solar heating applications, usage of phase change materials (PCM) to store the heat in the form of latent heat is increased, because large quantity of thermal energy is stored in small volume. The present experimental investigation on the thermal energy storage (TES) system is ...
