For solar energy, achieving "supercritical" steam power generation, where current power plants rely mostly on coal or natural gas, is a major breakthrough, meaning that it can drive the world's most advanced power plants in the future, and the cost competitiveness can compete with fossil fuels
.
Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation uses solar energy to achieve pressurized "supercritical" steam, bringing steam temperatures to their highest ever levels
.
Dr Alex, CSIRO's Director of Energy, said: "This is a game-changing milestone
for the renewable energy industry.
As if beyond the sound barrier, this step change demonstrates the potential
of solar energy to compete with peak performance from fossil fuel sources.
”
Dr Alex said: "Around 90 per cent of Australia's electricity is currently generated from fossil fuels, with only a handful of power stations based on more advanced 'supercritical' steam
.
This groundbreaking study shows that the power plants of the future can achieve the same effect
with free, zero-emission solar resources.
”
According to the Physicists Organization Network recently reported, this demonstration project that brings breakthroughs to solar power generation, using solar radiation heating to pressurize water, "supercritical" solar steam reaches a pressure of 23.
5 MPa per area, and the temperature is as high as 570 degrees Celsius
.
The breakthrough was made at the CSIRO Energy Hub in Newcastle, New South Wales, home to Australia's low-emission and renewable energy research
.
The center includes two solar thermal pilot power plants with more than 600 heliostats facing directly towards two collector towers
covered with solar receivers and turbines.
Commercial solar thermal power plants around the world currently utilize subcritical steam at similar temperatures but operating
at lower pressures.
If these plants can reach the state of supercritical steam, it will help improve efficiency and reduce the cost of
solar power generation.
The research project was supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency for US$5.
68 million in partnership with Abengo Solar
, the world's largest supplier of solar thermal power generation.
CSIRO is also developing advanced solar storage to provide solar power
at any time of the day or night.
