Concentrated solar power
OverviewCurrent technologyComparison between CSP and other electricity sourcesHistoryCSP with thermal energy storageDeployment around the worldCostEfficiency
CSP is used to produce electricity (sometimes called solar thermoelectricity, usually generated through steam). Concentrated solar technology systems use mirrors or lenses with tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area. The concentrated light is then used as heat or as a heat source for a conventional power plant (solar thermoelectricity). The solar concentrators use

6 FAQs about [Solar Tower Power Generation System]
What is a solar power tower?
A solar power tower, also known as 'central tower' power plant or ' heliostat ' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun's rays upon a collector tower (the target).
How does a solar power tower work?
A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors (heliostats) that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.
How do solar thermal towers work?
In solar thermal tower power plants with nearly planar mirrors focus solar radiation and direct it onto a receiver, which is located on the top of a tower. Very high temperatures in the receiver, resulting from this concentrated solar radiation enable generation of power plant process steam.
How do power tower concentrating solar power systems work?
In power tower concentrating solar power systems, a large number of flat, sun-tracking mirrors, known as heliostats, focus sunlight onto a receiver at the top of a tall tower. A heat-transfer fluid heated in the receiver is used to heat a working fluid, which, in turn, is used in a conventional turbine generator to produce electricity.
What is a power tower concentrating solar power plant?
In summary, the power tower concentrating solar power plant, at the heart of which lies the heliostat, is a very promising area of renewable energy. Benefits include high optical concentration ratios and operating temperatures, corresponding to high efficiency, and an ability to easily incorporate thermal energy storage.
What are the components of a solar tower?
Main components of a solar tower are the heliostat field, the receiver, and the tower itself. A heliostat field is the sum of all heliostats of a solar tower. Heliostats are mirrors which are equipped with a two-axes tracking system in order to track the sun’s path.
