Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors
and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. The
concentrated heat is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant.
A wide range of concentrating technologies exists; the most developed are the
parabolic trough, the concentrating linear fresnel reflector, the Stirling dish
and the solar power tower. Various techniques are used to track the Sun and
focus light. In all of these systems a working fluid is heated by the
concentrated sunlight, and is then used for power generation or energy storage.
