First Powder2Power results at ASME Turbo Expo 2024

On June 24, 2024, Dario Alfani from Politecnico di Milano showcased key findings from the Powder2Power – Horizon Europe Project at the ASME Turbo Expo in London. His presentation focused on optimizing a solar tower featuring a fluidized particle receiver and a supercritical CO₂ power block.

The research, detailed in the paper Techno-Economic Analysis and Optimal sCO₂ Power Cycle Configuration for Novel CSP Plants, highlights a promising pathway for cost-effective, high-performance solar power.
