Fraunhofer-Led New HybridKraft Project Initiates Power Generation with Concentrated Solar Power and PV Plant
4 Agosto 2023
A system is to be developed in the newly launched ‘HybridKraft’ project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection and headed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE.
The hybrid combination of concentrated solar power plants, photovoltaics and storage promises cost-effective and stable electricity generation.
The project focus is on developing an electric heater for a molten salt storage tank that is suitable for large-scale power plants. Such solutions which convert renewable electricity into high-temperature heat for direct use or storage are also interesting for industrial applications.
The electric heater is tested in closed-loop ...
