ARENA (ASTRI), an CST -backed venture, has released a 3D-printed model of its 430 concentrating solar thermal (CST) reference power plant. Can I print my own 3D CST power plant? A CST plant could generate up to 90GWh of electricity p.a., with four hours of storage. According to Manuel Blanco , Director of ASTRI, "as the debate heats up around the best path forward for Alice Springs ’s renewable energy future, it’s the storage component of ARENA technology that will revolutionise the way we deploy solar power."
