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

Solar tower power generation under future attenuation and

In particular, solar tower plants with thermal storage based on molten salts allow to increase the efficiency because of the higher working temperature. Consequently, recent solar tower

The world''s largest solar tower CSP project started

The total design annual utilization hours of this 200MW CSP plant is 1,319 hours, an annual power generation of 263.88 million kWh. After the whole project is completed and put into operation, the annual on-grid electricity can reach 3.65

Solar power

Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert
