This conference presentation takes some of the sting out of the abandonment of the Cloncurry solar-thermal-with-storage system. Next will be King Island (I hope)
......One interesting discussion was made by Nick Bain, CEO from Graphite Energy. He presented a solar system build in Australia that used graphite as its energy storage. Graphite competes with molton salt as its has properties that can hold an enormous amount of heat and also conduct heat as well. He showed slides of their system at Lake Cargelligo in Australia where they produce 2.2 MW of energy with 10 tons of graphite as storage. The overall system does cover huge space but Australia has some to spare. This system may be worth considering where spacial consideration are not as important.
