CSPplus – Techno-economical evaluation of different thermal energy storage concepts for CSP plants
Duration: 36 months (01/03/2021 to 28/02/2023)
CSPplus is a three-year European project that started in March 2021 and is coordinated by University of Lleida (Spain). CSPplus consortium consists of six institutions, from both academia and industry, from three countries: Spain, Israel, and Turkey. The project receives funding under the umbrella of CSP-ERA.NET 1st Cofund Joint Call (https://csp-eranet.eu/calls/1st) from the European Commission within the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation HORIZON 2020. The main goal of CSPplus is to reduce by 30% the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and by 3%-4% the operating expenditure (OPEX) in the next generation of CSP plants.
