The HTF typically synthetic oil, molten salt, or steam circulates in the tubes before passing through heat exchangers to produce steam. Solar troughs are considered the most mature and commercially proven of the CSP technologies.
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a promising technology to generate electricity from solar energy. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a crucial element in CSP plants for storing surplus heat from the solar field and utilizing it when needed.
Unlike photovoltaic solar cells, concentrating solar power (CSP) uses mirrors to focus sunlight to generate heat. The heat is carried by a heat transfer fluid (HTF) to run steam turbines for generating electricity. Developing countries represent the biggest growth market for this technology. Three main types of CSP systems can be identified.
