Concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) techniques can be easily coupled with thermal energy storage, and other energy sources, making it a good supplement to conventional generators. This book illustrates the theoretical way to design CSP plants and their main modules for sunlight concentration, heat absorption, thermal energy storage and power blocking with abundant project data, providing references for researchers and engineers.
