DISSEMINATION, EXPLOITATION AND COMMUNICATION

WP Leader

CSP-Boost

Duration

M1 – M48

Summary

The objectives of this WP are threefold: firstly, to delineate diverse pathways for exploiting project results and fostering innovation; secondly, to implement dissemination measures through various activities, ensuring widespread stakeholder engagement and awareness of research progress; and thirdly, to guarantee maximum project visibility through tailored communication activities. The overarching goal is to reach a broad audience, providing essential information about the POWDER2POWER project to underscore its significance and impact.

Main results

• Elaboration of the Exploitation plan for a successful uptake of the Project results
• Development and implementation of the efficient Dissemination & Communication strategy

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

WP Leader

EDF

Duration

M1 – M48

Summary

The objectives of the WP5 are focused on the evaluation of the techno-economic performances of a utility-scale POWDER2POWER plant and its associated environmental and social impact. This assessment involves comparing the results with alternative plant architectures operated under the same hypotheses.

Main results

• Evaluation of the techno-economic performance of a utility-scale POWDER2POWER plant
• Environmental and Social Analysis of the POWDER2POWER plant’s footprint

POWDER2POWER TECHNOLOGY UP-SCALE TOWARDS COMMERCIALIZATION

WP Leader

Build2Zero

Duration

M1 – M48

Summary

The objectives of the WP4 involve leveraging the project demonstration facility for upscaling the solution to commercial applications, encompassing both From the Meter (FTM) installations ranging from sizes above 10 MW to 50-60 MWe and Behind the Meter (BTM) installations for sizes below 10 MW. The focus includes the design of major components tailored for utility-scale applications. The WP4 involves designing hybrid systems that can be integrated with solar facilities utilizing the project technology. The key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluating and assessing the technology will be defined. The engineering focus extends to intricate components, including particle-to-sCO2 heat exchangers and electrical heating systems. The activities aim to advance the POWDER2POWER technology toward commercial viability through rigorous design, assessment, and optimization processes.

Main results

• Successful upscaling of the project solution and utility-scale components design to commercial applications
• Development of hybrid systems designed to be integrated with solar facilities using POWDER2POWER technology
• Development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess and measures the effectiveness of the POWDER2POWER technology in the commercial applications

Duration

M1 – M48

Summary

Building upon the solar pilot developed in the H2020 Next-CSP project at the Themis solar tower, the WP3 aims to gather experimental contributions, facilitating the experimental demonstration campaign and addressing upscaling challenges. For this, three main objectives are: 1- to modify the existing pilot facility layout to match that of a commercial power plant, 2 – to demonstrate the POWDER2POWER concept over the course of one year using the modified pilot facility, and 3 – to deduce an Operations & Maintenance guide from the experimental campaign, providing essential insights for future implementations.

Main results

• Successful adaptation of the existing pilot facility layout at the Themis solar tower site to the commercial power plant’s scale
• Successful demonstration of the POWDER2POWER concept over a 1-year period using the modified pilot facility
• Development of a comprehensive O&M Guide based on the experimental campaign, providing valuable inputs for ongoing and future operations

Summary

WP2 focuses on fundamental and technological aspects of using particle suspensions in CSP plants, particularly addressing particle conveying loops and superheating. Key objectives include understanding suspension hydrodynamics under varying conditions, predicting particle attrition impact on dust formation, assessing erosion effects on construction material, and integrating findings into the design of the P2P pilot plant's particle conveyance system. The work also explores methods for electrically superheating particles before entering the hot storage and power block. Lessons learned from pilot-scale operations will inform future large-scale particle-driven CSP designs.

Main results

• Analysis of Suspension Hydrodynamics, including flow properties, change concerning operating temperature, conveying mode and operation duration
• Assessment of Particle Attrition Impact during conveying operations at moderate to high temperatures
• Analysis of Particle Erosion Effects at varying particle flow rates
