Concentrated Solar Power Plants Brochure

Concentrated solar power plants currently rely on molten salt technology for storing thermal energy. But this is a complex and costly technology. EnergyNest offers promising solution for cost reduction. Parabolic trough plants operating with thermal oil (such as Dowtherm A and Therminol VP-1) will benefit from up to 60% lower CAPEX and up to 75% lower OPEX for their thermal storage system. EnergyNest also offers value that molten salt simply cannot provide – such as its ability to preheat the solar field and turbines, and its capacity to allow continuous plant operation (avoiding shutdown) in case of power block failure.
