Supercritical CO₂ vs. Steam: Is the Future of Solar Thermal Power Already Here?
A new study led by researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Siemens Energy has delivered a sobering verdict on the future of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) power cycles in next-generation solar thermal power plants. Despite the theoretical advantages of sCO₂ — higher efficiency, compact design, and faster ramp-up—the research concludes that steam still … Continue reading Supercritical CO₂ vs. Steam: Is the Future of Solar Thermal Power Already Here?
