Thermal energy storage in concentrated solar power plants
Abstract. Thermal energy storage (TES) technology makes the concentrated solar power (CSP) technology superior to the photovoltaics and wind energy, by making it capable of generating electricity around the clock. The advantage lies in less expensive storage in the form of thermal energy, compared with the expensive storage
Total, Siemens mulling LNG-to-power project in Cuba
Under the current plan, Total would deliver liquid gas from abroad and supply it to the power plant built by Siemens. The project would up Cuba''s power capacity that is currently at 6,000 megawatts that is 95 percent generated from fossil fuels. Cuba is aiming to have 24 percent of its power produced from renewable sources by 2030.

Hybrid renewables-plus-battery power plants are growing rapidly — are they a good idea?
As battery prices continue to fall and the penetration of variable wind and solar generation rises, power plant developers are increasingly turning to these "hybrid" power plants. By the end of 2020, roughly 70 solar-plus-storage power plants were in operation in the United States, representing almost 1GW of solar and 250MW of battery
Cuba: Energy Country Profile
To reduce CO 2 emissions and exposure to local air pollution, we want to transition our energy systems away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources. Low-carbon energy sources include nuclear and renewable technologies. This interactive chart allows us to see the country''s progress on this. It shows the share of energy that comes from low
