Researchers and power plant engineers have all taken an interest in Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) of its capacity to generate large amounts of energy while overcoming the sporadic nature of solar energy. Using CSP as a renewable energy source increases the electrical grid's reliability and has a good impact on the environment and human health.
Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat (solar thermal energy), which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) connected to an electrical power generator or powers a thermochemical reaction. As of 2021, global installed capacity of concentrated solar power stood at 6.8 GW.
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).
Solar thermal and chemical power generation system coupling There are two ways for energy to travel from the receiver to the power cycle: thermal and thermochemical. TES uses solid particles and a fluidized bed to convert thermal energy. Instead of HTF and storage media, solid particles are transferred using a bucket lifter device.
Comparing CSP with thermal energy storage (TES) to solar photovoltaics, CSP with TES has the potential to operate more flexibly and for more extended periods. CSP provides complimentary services and benefits to aid in the growth of the local economy and the advancement of social progress.
