A new approach to Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology

teknelios project relates to an innovative concentration and storage system of solar radiation capable to transfer, in a simple and effective way, even in a time lag, heat to a working fluid thermodynamic cycle for producing electricity or heating for civil and industrial applications.

The new storage system uses exclusively natural materials and substances, widely available and with a cost close to zero.

The technologies are well known: they are simply integrated in a new manner.

The system, when compared with currently available technologies, allows to overcome all the limits of temperature as, for example, those highlighted for the molten salt technology, actually considered among the most promising for medium and large power plants.

It can easily reach, for example, temperatures around 1100 K or more without any problem: the lower limit of temperature can drop hundreds of degrees in a while without problems.

Increasing the difference between these operating temperatures will increase, consequently, the thermodynamic efficiency achievable by the system.

The new system of energy collecting and storage of solar radiation consists of a series of modules fully integrated with any existing system of thermal power production (coal, nuclear, fossil fuels, etc.).

Such forms have absolutely no constraints, layout and distance and are easily excludable for supervision and maintenance.

This technology is really different from other CSP systems: it is more efficient, simple, easier and environmental friendly.

Just think different!
