All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Concentrating solar power (CSP) technology uses mirrors to reflect sunlight and collects solar heat to drive steam turbines or engines to create electricity. A CSP plant can generate power for about 70,000 homes, thus being a major player in the utility-scale solar market. It does not contribute to climate change and greenhouse emissions, and the source of energy – the sun – will never run out. The cumulative installed CSP capacity was 4.64 Gigawatts (GW) in 2015, and is expected to increase to 12.68 GW by 2025. Key requisites for successful project development include: investment; location; land; water resources and grid connectivity. There are four types of CSP plants: parabolic trough, Fresnel reflector, central tower and solar dish, which differ in design, configuration of mirrors and receivers, use of heat transfer fluid and heat storage. The viewpoint also provides information on comparative analysis of CSP technologies with its current and future developments; drivers influencing solar CSP development and information on the global CSP demand outlook.
