Concentrated solar power, a much cheaper solution than batteries for energy storage

By offering cheap energy storage, concentrating solar power has a huge potential. However, it requires international standards to become a competitive market proposition. Solar thermal energy, otherwise called concentrating solar power (CSP), is a renewable energy that uses the heat of the sun collected by various types of focusing mirrors. The energy from the concentrated sunlight heats a high-temperature fluid in a receiver, goes to a heat exchanger and finally drives a steam or gas turbine to produce electricity. A very promising renewable energy in the noughties, the market for CSP has however ...
