The efficiency of a concentrating solar power system depends on the technology used to convert the solar power to electrical energy, the operating temperature of the receiver and the heat rejection, thermal losses in the system, and the presence or absence of other system losses; in addition to the conversion efficiency, the optical system which concentrates the sunlight will also add additional losses. [pdf]
Concentrating solar power is a complementary technology to PV. It uses concentrating collectors to provide high temperature heat to a conventional power cycle. Efficient and low-cost thermal energy storage technologies can be integrated into CSP systems, allowing electricity production according to the demand profile.
A concentrating solar power (CSP) system can be presented schematically as shown in Fig. 2.1. All systems begin with a concentrator; the various standard configurations of trough, linear Fresnel, dish and tower have been introduced in Chapter 1, and are addressed in detail in later chapters.
Concentrated solar technology systems use mirrors or lenses with tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area. The concentrated light is then used as heat or as a heat source for a conventional power plant (solar thermoelectricity).
It is worthy of mention that the concentrating solar systems of PROMES-CNRS in Odeillo, in France, are suitable for high-temperature applications. For example, the microcentral “MicroSol-R” consists of 4 subsets that offer: 1) solar energy capture, 2) heat storage, 3) steam production and 4) electricity production.
If a real receiver geometry is superimposed on a known focal region distribution, the fraction of the solar radiation initially intercepted by the concentrator aperture that is in turn intercepted by the receiver can be determined. This capture fraction or intercept factor is a major determinant of the optical efficiency of the system.
The overall solar-to-electric conversion efficiency for the CSP system (ηsystem) is the product of the various subsystem efficiencies (concentrator/optical, receiver, transport, storage, and conversion): (2.1) η system = η optical × η receiver × η transport × η storage × η conversion
