High-power concentrated solar thermal power generation

Concentrating solar technologies for low-carbon energy

Concentrating solar technologies can be used to generate electricity and process heat from sunlight, with the capability to store energy for use at night or when insolation is low.

In a CSP plant that includes storage, the solar energy is first used to heat molten salt or synthetic oil, which is stored providing thermal/heat energy at high temperature in insulated tanks. Later the hot molten salt (or oil) is used in a steam generator to produce steam to generate electricity by steam turbo generator as required. Thus solar energy which is available in daylight only is used to generate electricity round the clock on demand as a load following power plant or solar peaker plant. The thermal storage c
