Biography
Jeremy Sment is a researcher and principal engineer at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he has worked since 2010. In his role at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility, Jeremy leads a team of particle-based concentrating solar power experts on the Generation 3 Particle Pilot Plant currently under construction. Jeremy focuses on thermal energy storage and market adoption of concentrating solar thermal applications for industrial heat and solar wastewater treatments concerning the thermal decomposition of PFAS. Jeremy also specializes in system integration, commercialization and techoeconomics, and leads a FEED study for a hybrid photovoltaic and concentrating solar power system with thermal energy storage to power Sandia and Kirtland Air Force Base. He leads the Field Deployment task for HelioCon in collaboration with NREL. In this role, he had the opportunity to conduct a series of interviews with industry experts around the world to develop a high-level understanding of solar field deployments in the context of US energy market trends. He is currently performing studies on site selection and the impacts of heliostats and solar panels on desert tortoise habitats and heliostat foundation requirements.
Throughout his career, Jeremy has performed CFD modeling and measurements of wind loading over heliostat fields, and developed functions for photovoltaic power models and heliostat flux mapping and calibration tools. More recently, Jeremy has developed structural cost modeling tools for receiver towers with tower-integrated storage, particle hoists conveyance machinery, and ground based hot-particle silo construction.
