Crescent Dunes Molten Salt Energy Storage Project
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Tonopah, Nevada, United States
Source: The Guardian
Located in the Nevada desert, the Crescent Dunes project uses solar power to heat a reservoir of potassium and sodium nitrate to 560C. This molten salt storage system can maintain temperature for 10 hours after sunset, converting stored thermal energy into electricity via a turbine. It has been operational for 10 years, providing clean electricity storage.
