Concentrated solar thermal power is a global-scale technology that has the capacity to satisfy the energy and development needs of the world without destroying it. The desert regions of India are one of the few places in the world with a high amount of ‘Direct solar radiation’, perfect for solar thermal power plants .
The increasing integration of intermittent renewable energy sources has significantly intensified the demand for flexible resources. In this context, concentrating solar power (CSP) stands poised to play a critical role due to its controllable and dispatchable capabilities.
Electricity production using concentrated solar power is based on the heat-mechanic-electric energy conversion process. Parabolic trough, the dish/engine, the chimney, and the power tower can be listed as thermal power technologies [ 2 ]. The parabolic collector and Stirling engine and generator is a good candidate for investigation.
Here’s a step-by-step look at the process involved: Capturing Solar Energy: The first step in a Concentrated Solar Power system is capturing solar energy.
