The “Resource Curse” on Third World Requires large land area for deployment
countries
Can be easily upgraded.
Requires addi.onal resources in the form of
ba@eries for energy storage Has very low maintenance requirement
Commercial units have an efficiency as high Can provide reliable power without
as 23% only. fluctua.on
High capital investment and high cost of Can work like a conven.onal fossil fuel plant
maintenance by genera.ng electricity from steam
SECRET INGREDIENT - MOLTEN SALT
neMS
• Salt is the mixture of Potassium- Sodium nitrate and nanoparticles.
• Molten salt acts as both heat transfer and thermal energy storage fluid.
• The molten salt provides ideal heat capture medium allowing wider
operating temperature range at atmospheric pressure hence, provides
superior and safe energy capture and storage.

REAL MAGIC
Mixture rule states that when particles of lower specific heat are added to
molten salt then the total specific heat of mix should decrease.
1. Semi-solid layer
2. High specific heat of nano particles in small size
3. Thermal resistance between nanoparticles and salt particles.
