Solar Power Tower | Description, Operation,

A Solar Power Tower is a solar thermal power plant that uses an array of flat, movable mirrors to focus sunlight onto a tower covered with water pipes. The heated water flows from the tower to a conventional steam

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
