OverviewCSP with thermal energy storageComparison between CSP and other electricity sourcesHistoryCurrent technologyDeployment around the worldCostEfficiency

In a CSP plant that includes storage, the solar energy is first used to heat molten salt or synthetic oil, which is stored providing thermal/heat energy at high temperature in insulated tanks. Later the hot molten salt (or oil) is used in a steam generator to produce steam to generate electricity by steam turbo generator as required. Thus solar energy which is available in daylight only is used to generate electricity round the clock on demand as a load following power plant or solar peaker pl
