The United States will become the focus of the global solar thermal power industry in 2013

2013 is a very important year for the solar thermal power industry in the United States. Although the launch of the new renewable energy loan guarantee program of the U.S. Department of energy is still missing, this will not prevent the United States from becoming the focus of the global solar thermal power industry in 2013

the Secretary of new energy continues to support the development of the solar energy industry

the new secretary of the U.S. Department of energy, Ernest Moniz, has previously publicly announced that he is very optimistic about the development prospects of the U.S. solar energy industry and will vigorously promote the development of solar energy in the United States, including solar thermal power generation

a spokesman of the U.S. Department of energy said that with the promotion of continuous research and development and commercial development activities of the solar thermal power industry worldwide, the understanding of solar thermal power generation is rapidly improving, and more and more people realize the development potential of solar thermal power generation as a sustainable and stable green energy source. This unity of understanding will promote the sustainable development of this industry

the implementation of the U.S. Department of energy's sunshot program is a good sample. Its R & D goal for solar thermal power generation is to achieve 75% cost reduction by 2020, and to promote the lcoe of solar thermal power generation to 6 cents per kWh or even lower without relying on policy subsidies. If successful, it will have the ability to compete with traditional thermal power

the above spokesperson said that since October 2011, the total amount of project support for solar thermal power generation in the sunshot plan has exceeded US $130million. Since fiscal year 2013, sunshot has launched a number of R & D support projects for solar thermal power generation technology. The total amount of support has reached 60million dollars, including high-precision load sensors. These include:

fixed before testing hibred: support the research and development of hybrid power generation technology of solar thermal power generation technology and traditional thermal power plants, and promote the application of CSP Technology in traditional thermal power generation industry. Support limit: 20million US dollars

solarmat: support the improvement of manufacturing technology of solar photovoltaic and solar thermal power generation modules, and promote the development of the industry through the innovation of manufacturing process within 1 to 4 years. Support limit: US $15million

predictions: support innovative component design, improve stability, reduce risk, reduce system and component costs to extend component life. Support limit: 5million US dollars

elem experimental data printing ents: support the design of new thermochemical heat storage system, realize the heat storage cost of less than $15/kwh and the operating temperature of more than 650 ℃ within 4 years. Support limit: 20million US dollars

the five major optical thermal power stations in the United States will be put into operation

a new study released by solarpaces under the International Energy Agency shows that solar thermal power generation will meet more than 25% of the global power demand by 2050. The solar thermal power stations being developed in the United States are on a large scale, with single installed capacity of more than 100MW, which is a beneficial attempt for the large-scale development of solar thermal power stations

the current total installed capacity of solar thermal power generation in the United States is only 571mw, but this year, four of the five major solar thermal power plant projects, including Ivanpah, crescent dunes, Solana, Mojave solar and Genesis solar, will be completed and put into operation, which will add more than 1GW of new installed capacity to the United States. This will nearly double the installed capacity of solar thermal power generation in the United States, which is also a great contribution to the global solar thermal power industry
