Solar Concentrated Thermal Power Generation
CSP is used to produce electricity (sometimes called solar thermoelectricity, usually generated through ). Concentrated solar technology systems useorwithsystems 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(solar thermoelectricity). The solar concentrators use. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use.
In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use.
CSP technologies use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver. The energy from the concentrated sunlight heats a high temperature fluid in the 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 electrical power generator [2].
Concentrated solar power (CSP) uses mirrors to focus heat from the Sun to drive a steam turbine and generate electricity.
CSP systems are the integrated collection of the many different processes and components required to collect, convert, store, and deliver solar-thermal heat. Learn more about how CSP works.
