The FB-CSP thermal system has the potential for rapid deployment after a successful particle-receiver
development, because the system leverages significant technology achievements in FB-boiler design and
manufacturing approaches for a conventional power plant. The FB-CSP thermal system has high potential to
transform CSP from the current expensive, performance-restricted, molten-salt-based CSP system to a low-cost,
high-performance solar power plant to serve the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SunShot Initiative goals as well
as broad solar-energy deployment.
