Concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies: Status and analysis

Photovoltaics (PV) and wind are the most renewable energy technologies utilized to convert both solar energy and wind into electricity for several applications such as residential [8, 9], greenhouse buildings [10], agriculture [11], and water desalination [12].However, these energy sources are variable, which leads to huge intermittence and fluctuation in power

High temperature central tower plants for concentrated solar power

The overall capacity of under construction and development solar power towers reached around 5383 MWh e in 2019, with an average power capacity of 207 MWh e [5]. The reason of that growth is the capacity of SPT to achieve higher temperatures in comparison to PTC [6] and, thus, greater solar to electric efficiencies [25] .
