Pros and Cons of Concentrated Solar Power
Along with photovoltaic solar energy and wind energy, there is another renewable technology that takes advantage of our main energy resource, the sun, to produce electricity: solar thermoelectric, thermosolar or concentrated solar power. Its operating [...]
Optimal design of a concentrated solar power plant with a thermal energy storage
In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant with a thermal energy storage system to produce 120 megawatts of electrical energy was designed using Thermoflex. As non-renewable resources are limited, to move towards sustainable [...]
