Latest CSP in Construction: 2023 (three projects)#1: Huidong New Energy 110 MW Beam-down Tower CSP This new CSP technology (Beam-down tower) is the first project of this technology to be built within the “corporate-scale” series of 30 new CSP plants in 1 GW renewable energy parks. . #2: Cosin Solar: Jinta Zhongguang 100 MW Tower CSP . #3: CEIC/ Lanzhou Dacheng’s 100 MW Molten Salts Fresnel CSP [pdf]
China required from the first demonstration phase that each CSP project must include thermal energy storage, marking the first recognition globally of the value of the low cost and longevity of thermal energy storage. As a power station storing solar energy thermally, CSP operates like a gas plant to supply grid services like rolling reserves.
Analysis of Landsat data indicates that solar projects have contributed to the greening of deserts in other parts of China in recent years. As of June 2024, China led the world in operating solar farm capacity with 386,875 megawatts, representing about 51 percent of the global total, according to Global Energy Monitor’s Global Solar Power Tracker.
According to Shu Yinbiao, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the utilization rate of new energy storage in China is not high, with the average utilization rate indexes for grid-side, user-side, and mandatory allocation of new energy storage projects reaching 38 percent, 65 percent and 17 percent, respectively.
China’s solar growth has been particularly rapid during the past decade. Between 2017 and 2023, the country’s operational solar capacity surged by an average of 39,994 megawatts per year. The solar capacity of the United States expanded by an average of 8,137 megawatts over the same period.
By the end of 2023, Northwest China had installed 222 GW of wind and solar capacity, and over 10 GW of battery storage projects. This accounts for 29.2 percent of the country's total, said Bian Guangqi, an NEA official. Important step
Most CSP in China is Tower. In a new approach to advancing a high percent of renewable energy on the grid without falling back on gas backup, China set a rule that required 100 MW CSP project in each 1 GW renewable energy park. As of 2023, 30 CSP projects are in development as a result.

StorTera Ltd, based in Edinburgh, will receive £5.02 million to build a prototype demonstrator of their sustainable, efficient, and highly energy dense single liquid flow battery (SLIQ) technology.

The first awards of funding designed to “turbocharge” UK projects developing long-duration energy storage technologies have been made by the country’s government, with £ 6.7 million (US$9.11 million) pledged.
Long Duration Electricity Storage investment support scheme will boost investor confidence and unlock billions in funding for vital projects. The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure.
The four longer-duration energy storage demonstration projects will help to achieve the UK’s plan for net zero by balancing the intermittency of renewable energy, creating more options for sustainable, low-cost energy storage in the UK.
The projects are all supported by funding from DESNZ, through the Longer Duration Energy Storage Demonstration (LODES) innovation competition, which was launched last year.
Analysis has found that deploying 20 GW of LDES could save the electricity system £24 billion between 2025 and 2050, reducing household energy bills as additional cheaper renewable energy would be available to meet demand at peak times, which would cut reliance on expensive natural gas.
However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK’s long-term energy resilience.

Immersion cooling technology encompasses systems in which electronic components are directly exposed to and interact with dielectric fluids for cooling purposes. This includes systems using single-phase or two-phase dielectric fluids, leveraging their thermal capabilities to manage and dissipate heat generated by electronic components. Heat is removed from the system by putting the coolant in direct contact with hot components, a. An immersive liquid cooling energy storage system is an advanced battery cooling technology that achieves immersion of energy storage batteries in a special insulated cooling liquid. [pdf]

A mathematical model of data-center immersion cooling using liquid air energy storage is developed to investigate its thermodynamic and economic performance. Furthermore, the genetic algorithm is utilized to maximize the cost effectiveness of a liquid air-based cooling system taking the time-varying cooling demand into account.
Single-phase A single-phase immersion cooling, shown in Fig. 10, is generally a circulating cooling system without any phase-phenomena . The electronic components are immersed in a dielectric cooler while a server is installed vertically in the thermally conductive dielectric liquid cooling bath .
Liquid cooling technology improves the efficiency of data centers and enables heat to be reused , . It is possible to provide electricity to a large capacity chiller using an immersion cooling system in particular .
The fluids used in immersion cooling are dielectric liquids to ensure that they can safely come into contact with energized electronic components. Commonly used dielectric liquids in immersion cooling are synthetic hydrocarbons, esters (natural and synthetic) and fluorochemicals.
In liquid-cooled plate technology, heat flux from sources must be transmitted to the cooling coolant through the cold plate, while in immersion cooling technology, heat from the heat source is directly transmitted to cooling coolants.
