Production and management of Energy; the interdisciplinary approach of ENEA to Concentrated Solar Power.

posted on 2018-02-08, 14:56 authored by DOMENICO DE MARTINISDOMENICO DE MARTINISClean and efficient energy generation by
environmental friendly methods and technologies is
now one of the major challenges worldwide. New and
heterogeneous methods to produce energy pose the
challenge of how to guarantee energy security,
storage of exceeding production and distribution. In
addition to that, the exploitation of next generation
energy sources must consider the impact it may have
on other productive systems and on rural areas (e.g.
solar vs agriculture, biomass vs food production).
ENEA has got and follows an interdisciplinary
approach to “challenge the challenge” of a sustainable
energy production, merging together materials
science, agronomy and biotechnology, solar energy
studies, energy efficiency management and more, in
collaboration with industries and often in collaboration
with the other stakeholders in the Mediterranean area.
This paper describes the state of the art technology
and how concentrating solar power (CSP) technology
could be modulated to meet different energy needs,
both spatial needs (e.g. off grid use vs
dispatchability) and temporal needs (day vs night and
energy on demand).
