The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to University of Michigan (UM) to develop a novel solar receiver for condensing solar power (CSP) applications. The receiver would be developed using aerogel technologies to improve system efficiencies. As part of the project, a prototype receiver would be assembled and used for performance testing.
