Schematic of the concentrating solar power plant. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP), a schedulable renewable energy technology, realizes the conversion of “solar-heat-electric”. The benefits from the thermal energy storage (TES) and its potential for heating need to be explored.
The concentrated solar power plant or solar thermal power plant generates heat and electricity by concentrating the sun’s energy. That, in turn, builds steam that helps to feed a turbine and generator to produce electricity. There are three types: This is the common type of solar thermal plant.
Among several parameters, the one that has the greatest influence on the decision on the potential of a region to implement a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) system is the DNI, which are considered more interesting and economically more viable when the value of the average DNI is equal to or greater than 2000 kWh/m 2 .year [8, 9].
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant has the ability to generate and store renewable energy in a single plant and thus providing dispatchable power that can be readily fed to the grid. The sun’s energy is concentrated to a hot focus by using parabolic mirrors .
Concentrated Solar Power Plants (CSP) do not convert sunlight directly into electricity. Instead, they use mirrors, lenses, and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. It is then used as the heated source, similar to a conventional power station.
