T&D World spotlights a U.S. Department of Energy–backed initiative in which Solar Dynamics, EPRI, and Malta Inc. are spearheading the development of a “design basis document” for next-generation nitrate salt thermal energy storage systems. The collaboration aims to standardize best engineering practices and lessons learned—covering concentrated solar power, long-duration storage, and nuclear energy applications. Malta CEO Ramya Swaminathan underscores the company’s commitment: “We’re delighted to provide our expertise and promote molten salt storage as a solution to some of the world’s biggest energy challenges.”
