About Us
Wizard Power’s mission is to make a positive contribution to global clean energy production.
At the heart of Wizard Power’s technology portfolio are the:
- The Big Dish solar thermal concentrator. The Big Dish is the world’s largest and highest performance paraboloidal dish solar concentrator capable of generating temperatures over 1,200oC for superheating steam or powering thermochemical processes. The energy generated through these processes is used for electricity production, energy storage or process heat;
- World leading, patent pending, mirror panel technology for Big Dishes and other solar concentrators; and
- A suite of unique thermal and thermochemical solar energy storage systems, also patent pending.
These technologies enable the delivery of utility-scale, zero emission thermal and electrical energy for dispatchable power applications. The Australian National University developed the first versions of these technologies over a period of more than 30 years. Wizard Power has enhanced and supplemented the ANU research to produce the next generation of technology for commercial application and has patents pending.
Wizard Power provides the research, development, technology support and systems integration services necessary to facilitate the development of solutions and projects using these technologies.
In addition to these technologies, Wizard Power is also developing high-temperature solar gasification solutions for the conversion of coal, biomass and other carbonaceous materials to liquid fuels, plastics and fertilisers.
