A solar power tower, also known as 'central tower' power plant or ' heliostat ' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun's rays upon a collector tower (the target). A heat-transfer fluid heated in the receiver is used to heat a working fluid, which, in turn, is used in a conventional. . Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. NLR performs research to support the U. Department of Energy Solar Energy. .
