Abstract: Concentrating solar power plants, specifically central receiver type systems and their heliostat field, are struggling with negative reputation in the USA, due to perceived underperformance and reliability issues. This is in part due to a lack of standards for performance assessment as well as overly simplified techno-economical models. A better understanding of influences and […]

Abstract: In conventional solar power tower (SPT) systems, heliostats typically aim at a single point on the receiver, such as the cavity aperture center or external receiver equator. While these traditional strategies minimize spillage losses, they often cause excessive thermal stresses due to non-uniform solar flux distribution, reducing receiver efficiency and lifespan. To mitigate this, […]

Abstract: As the penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic generation continues to rise, the inherent randomness and intermittency of their output pose significant challenges to system frequency stability. To address the limited frequency regulation capability under high renewable penetration, this paper proposes a short-term optimal scheduling approach for a cascade hydropower-wind-photovoltaic-concentrated […]

[News we missed from January 2026 from CSTA:Ed] Source:CSTA On 29 December, China Energy’s first tower concentrating solar power (CSP) project—the 100 MW Qingyu HVDC Phase-II plant of Qinghai Gonghe Co.—was successfully synchronized to the grid. The plant is the group’s maiden tower CSP venture. Despite the thin air of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, complex processes […]

Concentrated solar power researchers have long known that porous ceramic “volumetric” receivers can deliver very high temperatures. What a new study from Cranfield University shows is that the internal shape of the cavity impacts heat retention. After testing different polygonal internal geometries, they found that the nine‑sided design – the nonagon – holds onto more […]
