Finally, concentrated solar energy would be very useful.
Finally, concentrated solar power would be useful.
The US company NREL has a goal of achieving a cost of $0.05 per kWh (approximately the cost of energy from crystalline panels).
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) uses heliostatic mirrors to direct sunlight into a collection tower. The tower stores the heat

A catalogue of the problems encountered by concentrating power plants
The US NREL has listed the problems that have prompted the abandonment of concentrating power plant technology around the world. This comes at a time when Spain is considering auctioning 5 gigawatts of PV concentrators.
NREL has reviewed the operation of 80 SSC plants around the world (about 100 have been built). It identified

Does the future of concentrators lie in smaller power plants?
According to GlobalData, the future of concentrators (CSPs) would pass through smaller power plants. While the capital costs of building new CSPs have fallen sharply in recent years, the future of concentrators (CSPs) will depend on smaller power plants.

Concentrated solar power still resists in Spain
The American concentrating solar power plant companies have virtually disappeared. SolarReserve, one of the last US CSP developers, appears to have gone out of business after losing its only revenue-generating US contract and selling its plants abroad, including Aurora in Australia and Likana in Chile last year.

Un nouveau moyen d'atteindre 1.000°C avec une centrale à concentration
La jeune entreprise Heliogen atteint 1.000 °C avec une centrale à concentration. Elle y est parvenue en positionnant très précisément les miroirs et héliostats. C'est le résultat de l'utilisation de la vision industrielle.
Dans les autres installations, les centrales CSP utilisent des milliers d'héliostats motorisés et à miroirs pour réfléchir la lumière du soleil sur un récepteur situé au sommet d'une tour. Lors de la construction,

Comment rendre les centrales à concentration, rentables
Malgré son grand potentiel, l’énergie solaire concentrée (CSP) reste l’une des options les plus coûteuses pour la production d’énergie renouvelable. L’écart de coût entre les tours solaires thermiques avec stockage et les centrales photovoltaïques ou éoliennes est devenu considérable.
