Kraftblock in combination with CSP.
The solution for a new generation of concentrated solar power.
The third generation of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is an upcoming form of cheap electricity generation without fossil fuels. Usually, salt is used in these systems and Kraftblock could work with that. The use case however is better with the new technology using an air-driven system and temperatures above 700°C. Thus, it is possible to use Kraftblock's high-temperature approach to shift heat for electricity generation at night or even days later. Kraftblock starts with 350°C upwards and provides solution both for CSP and CST (Concentrated Solar Thermal).
How it works
Charging
Heat from the receiver tower is fed into the Kraftblock storage via air on
high temperature.
Storage
The heat is stored between hours and two weeks.
Discharging and Generation
The stored heat is used to generate power, for example at night.

Concept Draft
We analyze date, draft a project idea with size and operation mode and indicate a price.
Feasability Study
We set up a detailed concept, define the interface and engineer the plant.
Project Execution
We procure, manufacture, erect, integrate and start up the storage system.
