3. Alloys in Contact with Molten Salts for Thermal Storage Applications
Abstract : The combination of a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant and a thermal energy storage (TES) system is a promising technology for power generation, in that it overcomes the challenges commonly faced by renewable energy systems, such as intermittency, dispatchability, and the gap between the energy supply and energy demand. The third generation (Gen3) CSP plants are designed to increase plant efficiency by using supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) instead of steam for the Brayton cycle gas turbines, requiring a minimum operating temperature of 750°C for the TES materials.

5. Corrosion of High-Temperature Alloys in Molten Salts
Abstract : Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an interesting technology that involves storing solar energy in the form of heat and subsequently converting it into electricity. The third-generation (Gen3) CSP plants aim to operate at temperatures >700°C, necessitating the deployment of new heat storage materials that can withstand such high operating temperatures. READ MORE
