Dr. Ananthakrishnan commented, "I am excited to join the SHEC Energy
team. I am convinced that SHEC Energy is poised to become a world
leader in solar power generation. Through extensive research,
development and field testing, SHEC scientists have developed patented
technology which will eventually bring the cost of solar power in line
with conventional sources of electricity. I am proud to be a part of
the movement to advance clean, renewable power with this breakthrough
technology!"
Andy and his wife, Vasantha, split their time between their homes in
Moorestown, NJ and Boston, MA.
SHEC Energy Technology
SHEC Energy's solar thermal technology can be applied to power
generation in the range of 25KW to the GW range.
The Achilles heel of renewable energy is its intermittent production.
This very much limits the opportunity for grid connect since
electricity cannot be economically stored. SHEC's high temperature
storage technology allows the thermal energy of the sun to be stored so
it can produce electricity when the sun is not shining. This enables
SHEC's technology to provide base-load power.
About SHEC Energy Corporation
SHEC Energy was formed in 1996 with the mandate of producing hydrogen
renewably and cost competitively with fossil fuels. This technology has
been adopted for solar thermal power generation. SHEC Energy's hydrogen
history has provided a technological lead for power generation since
high efficiency; high temperature solar technology was developed for
the process. SHEC Energy has developed advanced, highly efficient solar
technologies and manufacturing technologies to achieve this goal.
Solar energy was the logical renewable source because it is abundant
with about 6,000 times more energy bombarding the Earth than all of
humanity's energy requirements. It also has a lifespan of billions of
years.
SHEC's technology is not only applicable for power generation, but can
also co-generate hot water, chilled water and desalinated water
simultaneously with little additional cost. The technology can also be
applied to thermal chemical processes such as alternative fuel
production.
