Solar thermal power plant
Solar thermal power plants are electricity generation plants that utilize energy from the Sun to heat a fluid to a high temperature.This fluid then transfers its heat to water, which then becomes superheated steam.This steam is then used to
Concentrating Solar-Thermal Power Basics
It can also be used in a variety of industrial applications, like water desalination, enhanced oil recovery, food processing, chemical production, and mineral processing. Concentrating solar-thermal power systems are generally used for
Solar thermal enhanced oil recovery
OverviewTechnologyRecent projectsMarketHistoryExternal links
Solar thermal enhanced oil recovery (reviated solar EOR) is a form of thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a technique applied by oil producers to extract more oil from maturing oil fields. Solar EOR uses solar thermal arrays to concentrate the sun''s energy to heat water and generate steam. The steam is injected into an oil reservoir to reduce the viscosity, or thin, heavy crude thus facilitating its flow to the surface. Thermal recovery processes, also known as steam injection, h
Concentrating Solar-Thermal Power Basics
What is concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) technology and how does it work? CSP technologies use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver. The energy from the concentrated sunlight heats a high temperature
