After decades of research and development, concentrating solar
thermal (CST) power plants (also known as concentrating solar power
(CSP) and as Solar Thermal Electricity or STE systems) are now
starting to be widely commercialized. Indeed, the IEA predicts that
by 2050, with sufficient support over ten percent of global
electricity could be produced by concentrating solar thermal power
plants. However, CSP plants are just but one of the many possible
applications of CST systems. Advances in Concentrating Solar
Thermal Research and Technology provides detailed information on
the latest advances in CST systems research and technology. It
promotes a deep understanding of the challenges the different CST
technologies are confronted with, of the research that is taking
place worldwide to address those challenges, and of the impact that
the innovation that this research is fostering could have on the
emergence of new CST components and concepts. It is anticipated
that these developments will substantially increase the
cost-competiveness of commercial CST solutions and reshape the
technological landscape of both CST technologies and the CST
industry. After an introductory chapter, the next three parts of
the book focus on key CST plant components, from mirrors and
receivers to thermal storage. The final two parts of the book
address operation and control and innovative CST system concepts.
