MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617060751 A) filed by Holtec International on May 13, 2026, for Hybrid Solar Energy System.
Inventors include Singh, Krishna P.; Rampall, Indresh; and Bell, Edward.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: A hybrid solar energy power generation system includes a thermal energy storage (TES) vessel containing a thermal mass composition operable to store thermal energy, a concentrated solar power (CSP) system, and a photovoltaic (PV) power system. The CSP system heats a first working fluid flowing in first closed flow loop via a solar collector. The heated first working fluid recirculates through the TES vessel to heat the TM composition. The PV power system generates electricity which can be delivered directly to the electric power grid or alternatively when grid demand drops energizes can electric heaters to supplement heating the first working fluid. This increases the temperature and enthalpy of the first working fluid to store additional thermal energy in the TM composition. The TES vessel is operable to heat a second working fluid to produce steam usable for industrial processes, district heating, or to power a Rankine power generation cycle.
