The Physics of Solar Concentration

For a solar concentrator, the collecting area is covered by mirrors which reflect sunlight from the full array into a much smaller receiver. Upon doing so, all the power incident on the full collecting area becomes sent to the receiver. So for

Concentrating Solar Collectors

Concentrating solar collectors use shaped mirrors or lens to provide higher temperatures that flat plate collectors. For power generation stations that use a central tower to collect sunlight reflected from a field of heliotstat, the heliostats

OverviewComparison between CSP and other electricity sourcesHistoryCurrent technologyCSP with thermal energy storageDeployment around the worldCostEfficiency

Concentrated solar power (CSP, also known as concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat (solar thermal energy), which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) connected to an
