How CSP using parabolic dish works ?
Solar energy is harness by using satelite dish shape solar collector to reflect the energy towards the receiver contain hydrogen that act as HTF as the working fluid to move the piston
Solar energy is concentrated by curved, trough-shaped reflectors,
which are concentrated focused onto a solar tower. The tower usually
contains molten salt, which is heated and then transfer to the steam generator to generate electricity in a steam generator.
Solar energy is concentrated by curved, trough-shaped reflectors,
which are focused onto a receiver pipe. The pipe usually
contains thermal oil, which is heated and then used in the
thermal power block to generate electricity in a steam generator.
Solar photovoltaic is tilted towards the high irradiation of the solar energy and allowing the electrons in the p-n junction to be ejected and complete the circuit.
HTF is..
Heat Thermal Fluid
Hot Thermal Fluid
Heat Transfer Fluid
Hot Transfer Fluid
Why CSP uses HTF ?
High operating temperature
Easy to handle
HTF materials is abundance
Corrosive
CSP capable of
producing constant power (baseload) for up to 24 hours a day, making it
well suited for integration with the electricity grid. How ?
