The University of South Florida would demonstrate the feasibility of a thermal energy storage system made from phase change materials to meet utility-scale base-load solar plant requirement economically. The location of the laboratory work would take place at the Clean Energy Research Center and Nanomaterials, and Nanomanufacturing Research Center laboratories at the USF in the Research Park (IDRB 121), and Engineering Building (ENG 019F) and Nanotech Building (NTA 105), Tampa, Florida.
