The aim of this project is to develop a laboratory-based prototype for energy storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) systems using metal hydrides as a chemical energy storage medium. The successful development of cost-effective energy storage technologies is expected to dramatically increase the deployability of CSP systems and this, in turn, will greatly enhance our capacity to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The outcomes of the project are planned to be used towards the development of a commercially viable solar thermal energy storage system. The project also plans to conduct fundamental research into the development of new high-temperature metal hydrides suitable for energy storage in CSP systems.

该项目的目的是开发一个基于实验室的原型，用于聚光太阳能（CSP）系统中的能量存储，该系统使用金属氢化物作为化学能量存储介质。经济高效的储能技术的成功开发有望大大提高CSP系统的可部署性，而这反过来又将大大提高我们减少对化石燃料依赖的能力。该项目的成果计划用于开发商业上可行的太阳能热能储存系统。该项目还计划开展基础研究，开发适用于CSP系统储能的新型高温金属氢化物。
