Abstract

This paper presents technology concentrating solar power (CSP) generating electricity by using the heat from solar thermal collectors to heat a fluid which produces steam that is used to power the generator. Main concentrating solar power technologies are described in this article on brief: parabolic troughs, linear Fresnel, power towers, and solar dish. Producing electricity with central solar emits no pollution, produces no greenhouse gases, and no uses finite fossil fuel resources. The environmental benefits of centrals solar are great..
