CSP and offshore wind are in their deployment infancy, these technologies
are already attractive in some markets, with costs continuing to fall’

But CSP has added value….
CSP Industry - Status
“Their built-in storage capabilities allow
CSP plants to supply electricity on
demand”
IEA, 2014
“CSP offers a wide variety of ancillary services
that are becoming increasingly valuable as shares
of PV and wind, both variable renewables
increase in the electricity mix”
IEA, 2014
“The ability to shift generation to when the
sun is not shining and/or the ability to
maximize generation at peak demand
times allows CSP to have reduced LCOE”

The Economist - Letters Mar 11th 2017 Energy policies are increasingly and mistakenly geared towards expanding renewable energy as an end in itself,
rather than achieving carbon reductions and maintaining reliability. The cost of providing system
backup power or storage is not reflected in the wind and solar “levelised cost of energy” or the market price.
With more renewable production, these shadow costs escalate because a full-sized system of on demand
power or oversize seasonal storage (which does not practically exist today) is
needed to cover multiple days and weeks when there is little wind or sun. If it existed, this
storage system would face the same challenge that capacity markets face in a high renewables
world: large capital costs and low usage. High renewable penetration makes all
forms of energy production “intermittent” and therefore costly.
Most studies suggest that achieving a low carbon grid at a manageable cost will require a
mixture of nuclear, gas with carbon capture or other zero carbon on-demand sources in
addition to renewables. To redesign markets to facilitate very high uptake of renewable
energy for its own sake is indeed a way to turn the world, and economic logic, upside down.

UAE
The Gulf state plans to invest £119bn ($150bn) in renewable power to 2050,
weaning the country from dependency on subsidized natural gas power in
stages, Minister of Energy Suhail Al-Mazrouei (UAE) said at a conference in
Berlin. Clean energy sources will help it save £153bn ($192bn), he said.

UVAC 6G and 7G
The unrivaled benchmark in solar receiver efficiency achieved by increasing
absorbtance without compromising on emissivity
The efficiency of the receiver has the single most important impact on plant’s efficiency
The design of the receiver is crucial for its performance. It must strike a perfect balance between thermal energy absorption and energy loss
Absorption of all receivers in the
market degrade over time (physical characteristics of the SST selective coating)
On average, ~1.3% less GWh produced annually throughout plant’s lifetime!
