solar power tower - Download as a PDF or view online for free. Solar power towers use an array of mirrors called heliostats to focus sunlight onto a central receiver at the top of a tower. This concentrated sunlight is used
An Overview of Heliostats and Concentrating Solar Power
This overview will focus on the central receiver, or "power tower" concentrating solar power plant design, in which a field of mirrors - heliostats, track the sun throughout the day and year to
Concentrating Receiver Systems (Solar Power Tower)
In solar thermal tower power plants with nearly planar mirrors focus solar radiation and direct it onto a receiver, which is located on the top of a tower. Very high temperatures in the receiver,

Concentrated solar power
OverviewCurrent technologyComparison between CSP and other electricity sourcesHistoryCSP with thermal energy storageDeployment around the worldCostEfficiency
CSP is used to produce electricity (sometimes called solar thermoelectricity, usually generated through steam). Concentrated solar technology systems use mirrors or lenses with tracking systems 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 power plant (solar thermoelectricity). The solar concentrators use
