Energy storage plays a crucial role in the development, progress and penetration of renewable energy sources, allowing dispatchability of supply. Regarding the current situation of renewable electricity generation, dominated by solar PV and wind, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants is one renewable energy technology with significant potential to increase the share of renewable electricity generation in the future.<\/p><p>This technology has as main feature the possibility of integration, at low cost, of energy storage systems (based on sensible heat), using molten inorganic salts (MS) that are simultaneously used as heat transfer fluids and energy storage media. To meet requirements of high energy density and efficiency, higher temperature fluids are constantly searched.<\/p><p>The use of high temperatures (e.g. up to 700-800\u00b0C) in CSP with MS is however quite challenging, taking into account a series of criteria, namely: (a) the allowed temperature working ranges, as wide as possible, which requires low melting points and high decomposition temperatures, ensuring thermal\/chemical stability of the salts across the range; (b) the need of ensuring high heat transfer rates; (c) the evaluation of the interaction of materials with the salts, the corrosion effect and the measures to prevent and avoid corrosion.<\/p><p>The present project proposal exactly addressees all these questions, in an integrated and multidisciplinary approach, trying to contribute to the development of reliable and efficient thermal energy storage (TES) systems for high temperatures.<\/p><p>Another activity foreseen, which complements the laboratory investigation, is the energetic and economic impact assessment of the use of new carbonate molten salt mixtures in single tank thermal energy storage systems and in the CSP plant\u2019s solar-to-electricity efficiency, electricity output and levelized cost of electricity.<\/p>The results of this project will be a contribution to the development of concentrated solar thermal technologies, with higher operating temperatures, and an incentive to the future application of these technologies.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f60b36c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f60b36c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35d17c1\" data-id=\"35d17c1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f89d91 elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"1f89d91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"objectives\" class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf40e73 elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-top elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"cf40e73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon elementor-animation-\" >\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\tObjectives\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d432170 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d432170\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>NEWS4CSP aims to develop and validate new solutions for thermal energy storage using new formulations of molten salt mixtures with micro\/nanoparticles, aiming at attaining simultaneously high working temperatures, high energy density and improved heat transfer rates with low corrosivity for structural materials.

The company makes use of new technologies in materials and surface engineering like: HVOF (High velocity oxygen fuel), APS (Atmospheric plasma spraying), EAWS (Electric arc wire spraying), LVOF (Low velocity oxygen fuel), Laser Cladding, PVD (physical vapour deposition) and PACVD (plasma assisted). TEandM has an extensive experience in coating industrial components and parts submitted to aggressive corrosion, oxidation and wear environments. The company can develop and apply from the laboratorial to the industrial scale, surface coating solutions for the project. With experience on applying coating systems for the aeronautical industry, namely compressor blades and vanes, combustion chambers, turbine, engine casings, etc. can give a significant contribute for the development and application of coatings for high temperature and corrosion resistance applications. TEandM will allocate to the project their coating facilities, combining in this case HVOF and Laser Cladding techniques. From the beginning of its activity, the company found about 50 coatings units in 21 registered trademarks, of which 4 with international registration. TEandM has a quality system certification in aerospace series EN 9100 and ISO 9001.
