Summary
"Concentrating solar power (CSP) technology is poised to take its place as one of the major contributors to the future clean energy mix. Using straightforward manufacturing processes, CSP technology capitalises on conventional power generation cycles, whilst cost effectively matching supply and demand though the integration of thermal energy storage. Concentrating solar power technology provides a comprehensive review of this exciting technology, from the fundamental science to systems design, development and applications. Part One introduces fundamental principles and solar resources for concentrating solar power systems. Part Two focuses on technology approaches and potential, before Part Three goes on to discuss optimisation, improvements and applications. Key Features: provides a comprehensive review of concentrating solar power (CSP) technology, from the fundamental science to systems design, development and applications; reviews fundamental principles of concentrating solar power systems, including site selection and feasibility analysis and socio-economic and environmental assessments; provides an overview of technologies such as linear Fresnel reflector technology, parabolic-trough, central tower and parabolic dish concentrating solar power systems, and concentrating photovoltaic systems."--Provided by publisher.
