Baseload Concentrating Solar Power Generation
Funding: Up to $52.5M Total; Maximum Per Award Varies By Topic
Open Date: 07/15/2009
Close Date: 10/15/2009
Funding Organization: Solar Energy Technologies Program
Funding Number: DE-FOA-0000104
Summary:
The objective is to develop and evaluate Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) components and/or systems that will lead to solar power plants with a capacity to generate electricity at costs competitive to fossil-fired generators.
The announcement includes two topic areas:
- Research and development of concepts and components that can be part of a CSP baseload system
- Evaluation of the feasibility of a complete CSP baseload system and development of a prototype system that can be implemented in the field.
The projects will be conducted in three phases during the performance period of 42 to 60 months. Phase 1 will involve conducting system feasibility and preliminary design work. Phase 2 will involve performing engineering design, and Phase 3 will focus on detailed engineering design and prototype testing and evaluation.
