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.
For electricity generation, CSP plants can then use that heat to power industrial processes to boil water for steam turbines to produce electricty just as in fossil-fuel power plants. CSP can provide reliable heat or electricity by integrating long-duration thermal energy storage for 10 or more hours.
Fig. 24. Different CSP generation comparison . (With permission, License Number: 5442921467985). According to the European Solar Thermal Energy Association, the International Energy Agency, and Greenpeace, CSP might provide 3–3.6% of the global energy supply in 2030 and 8–11.8% by 2050.
CSP systems concentrate sunlight using mirrors onto a receiver, generating heat. Through the conversion of steam into steam, a turbine converts mechanical energy into electricity. In concentrated solar power, mirrors, lenses, and tracking systems focus sunlight onto a small area, generating heat that powers turbines and generates electricity.
