SERIIUS' Multiscale Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) research thrust focuses on three coupled
activities. They are designed to greatly reduce levelized cost of energy (LCOE) by: 1) increasing the
power-block cycle efficiency significantly, and 2) decreasing solar collector cost with innovative
designs and optical materials.
Low-Temperature Organic Rankine Cycle: Develop organic Rankine cycle with operating
at <330C and with efficiency >20% (25 kW to 1 MW).
Thermal Storage and Hybridization: Develop hybridized storage systems for the diverse
temperature ranges of the Brayton and Rankine converters in the first two activities.
CSP-1:
High-temperature, pressurized
CO2receiver
CSP-2:
Low-cost heliostats for Brayton cycles
