Massachusetts Institute of Technology highlights the advantages of solar energy systems
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Professor Robert Armstrong reviewed the former head of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the advantages of concentrated solar energy systems as a worthy and attractive options depending on the renewable energy sector, in a public lecture held recently in Abu Dhabi.
Armstrong delivered a lecture on "the future of concentrated solar power" in the presence of an elite of academic and business leaders and energy experts, researchers and workers in various areas of renewable energy.
The organization of this lecture in the framework of the "Distinguished Lecture series under the joint initiative between the Institute of energy source and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology", in order to strengthen relations of cooperation and the opportunity to exchange information and experiences between the two institutions.
The Armstrong has prior to his lecture, held a panel discussion with senior officials in the management of the Masdar Institute and a number of strategic partners and stakeholders.
Armstrong is a leading researcher has published more than 120 scientific articles and books, and delivered over 330 lectures in the areas of energy, and mechanisms of liquid polymers, and aware of the flow of composite materials. He is Armstrong is currently the Deputy Director of Energy Initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, having previously served as Assistant President of the Council of Energy Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
On the sidelines of the lecture, said Armstrong said: "Given the widespread use of turbine normal to generate electricity, solar energy systems concentrated allow for the production of huge amounts of energy on a large scale. Featuring these systems are simple, and its ability to thermal storage effective direct way, and its dependence on technology proven and reliable. "
Armstrong expressed his gratitude to the Masdar Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the opportunity to highlight the importance of the role of CSP in the clean energy sector, pointing to the keenness of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to strengthen relations of cooperation with the Institute of the source in the future.
The concentrated solar energy, also called solar thermal, solar radiation concentration in a relatively small point, in order to heat the feedstock. It is then heat transfer of this material directly to the target to be heated, or is connected to the generator to produce electricity. Studies have shown that the proportion of the effectiveness of concentrated solar power ranging from 40-60%.
For his part, said Dr. Fred Movenzadeh, president of the Institute Source: "reflects the collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Institute for the source of long-term relationship between the two academies, and their bid to play a leading role in research and development. Has made renewable energy research a long way in the past few years and we are delighted to host Mr. Armstrong, one of the most prominent researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who explained to attend the important role played by renewable energy sources. We will continue at the Institute for the source of the organization of such events that will highlight the benefits and advantages of clean energy sources ».
Dr. Steve Griffitas, director of initiatives in the Masdar Institute, welcomed for Mr. Armstrong and presented to the audience, and said on this occasion: "This event is the commitment of both institutions are good partners and their keenness to support the next generation of leaders in the renewable energy sector. There is no doubt that this lecture would be in the source of inspiration to the minds of young researchers, and encourages them to continue to focus on advanced scientific research in solar energy ».
