Overview of Central Receiver Systems for Concentrating Solar Power: Optical Advancements and Needs

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

This presentation provides an overview of concentrating solar power (CSP) and associated optical research and needs. CSP uses large arrays of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a receiver to heat water/steam,molten salt, air, or other media for electricity production and thermal energy storage.
