Today marks an exciting milestone as the COOPERANT project officially launches! 🚀☀️ COOPERANT is an initiative that aims to revolutionize Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies, addressing key challenges in the field. 🌍🔬 COOPERANT's mission is to advance the next generation of CSP by tackling common limitations faced by conventional facilities. The project focuses on enhancing high-temperature operations, improving dispatchability, increasing cost-effectiveness, and promoting sustainability. 🌡️💡💰🌿 By innovating in these areas, COOPERANT is paving the way for uninterrupted green solar power generation that is both dispatchable and economically viable, reducing dependency on solar radiation. ⚡️🔋 One of the project's key objectives is to enable CSP systems to operate at high temperatures (~1000ºC), which is crucial for improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, these extreme conditions present significant challenges in terms of material selection, corrosion resistance, system design, and performance limitations. 🔥🛠️ In line with the SET-Plan for CSP, COOPERANT introduces three cutting-edge solutions at technological, digital, and transference levels. These innovations work synergistically to address the challenges associated with high-temperature operations. 🔬💻🔄 Want to know more about these groundbreaking solutions?
