Solar Power Plant Coming to USF

Dr. D. Yogi Goswami is the John and Naida Ramil Professor at University of South Florida. He and his team at the College of Engineering are building a solar power plant at the Tampa campus of USF; their aim is to find a way to make solar energy available 24 hours a day at affordable prices. The on campus solar power plant is funded with a grant from the State of Florida through the Florida Energy Systems Consortium. Included in this project is a thermal storage system being developed with $ 3.9 million grant from the US Department of Energy.
