Pioneering the Future of Solar Energy Storage
Discover HELIOTROPE, an ambitious R&D project focused on developing innovative molten salts and materials for CSP thermal energy storage. Achieving higher efficiency and sustainability with operating temperatures up to 850°C, HELIOTROPE aims to enhance energy security and reduce GHG emissions.
Highly Efficient and Low-impact InnOvative TheRmal stOrage system for enhanced disPatchability in concEntrated solar tower plants Project acronym: HELIOTROPE
HELIOTROPE is an ambitious R&D project that aims to address the comprehensive development of novel molten salts and materials technologies for novel CSP thermal energy storage systems, enabling operation at temperatures surpassing the current 600ºC, SotA for CSP, and increasing plant dispatchability. A holistic approach is considered to achieve higher efficiencies in the thermal storage of the CSP plants: new sustainable molten saltswith improved physicochemical characteristics and optimum resistance properties, that will allow near-zero corrosion rate operational conditions, and the possibility to reach 850ºC in the absorber surface of the receiver.
