Integrated Solar Power Plants Blend CSP and PV
Next-generation modular concentrated solar power (CSP) plants fulfill the promise of round-the-clock clean power generation, but they shouldn''t be construed as substitutes or replacements for PV. Instead, the two technologies complement one another to produce the lowest possible cost (LCOE) for 24/7 electricity in most applications.
Concentrated solar power: technology, economy analysis, and
At present, solar power generation technology can be divided into solar photovoltaic power (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) (Chen and Fan 2012). Solar PV power generation utilizes photoelectric effect to directly convert solar energy into electricity, which is a direct photoelectric conversion mode. CSP is light-heat-electric conversion
