Low-cost distributed solar-thermal-electric power generation

Due to their high relative cost, solar electric energy systems have yet to be exploited on a widespread basis. It is believed in the energy community that a technology similar to photovoltaic (PV), but offered at about $1/W would lead to widespread deployment at residential and commercial sites. This paper addresses the investigation and feasibility study of a low-cost solar thermal electricity...

A low-cost solar-powered blood-pressure device.

It is almost mandatory to label increased blood pressure as a readily detectable and, importantly, preventable contributor to the global epidemic of cardiovascular disease. But there is often little appreciation of the barriers to providing even rudimentary health care in low-to-middle-income countries. A rising tide of hyper tension linked to epidemiological transition in vulnerable urban comm...

Concentrating solar thermal power.

In addition to wind and photovoltaic power, concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) will make a major contribution to electricity provision from renewable energies. Drawing on almost 30 years of operational experience in the multi-megawatt range, CSP is now a proven technology with a reliable cost and performance record. In conjunction with thermal energy storage, electricity can be provided ac...
