Cooperant Project
Changing the future of solar energy, with the financial support and collaboration of talent
Contribution & benefits
COOPERANT proposes a revolutionary technological integration to unlock the potential of the 3rd CSP generation to favour dispatchable RES-based generation by coupling high-temperature TES and more efficient power cycles.
- Reaching high-temperature efficiency and cost-effectiveness through CSP operation at approximately 1000°C.
- Overcoming variability with a cost-efficient TES system to improve the dispatchability of solar energy.
- Upscaling feasibility in line with CSP roadmap supported by digitalization to ensure broader adoption.
