Concentrated solar power (CSP, also known as concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver. 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

The key advantage of solar thermal power generation technology when compared with PV technology is the lower cost of thermal storage compared with battery storage. In trough plants, the mineral oil can be used for sensible thermal storage. Solar salt, a 60–40% mixture of sodium and potassium nitrate, has been used for central receiver plants.
Concentrating solar thermal (CST) technologies collect and concentrate radiation from the sun to transform it into high-temperature thermal energy. This thermal energy can later be used for a plethora of high-temperature thermal applications, such as heating and cooling, process heat, material processing, electricity production, or chemical

Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems are essential technologies helping to harness the power of the sun to meet growing energy demands while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Concentrating solar thermal (CST) technologies can produce electricity on demand when deployed with thermal energy storage, providing a dispatchable source of renewable energy. Therefore, solar thermal electricity (STE) can be provided by smoothing the variability of the energy resource and taking advantage of peak power prices (IEA 2014).
