Concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies: Status and analysis

Photovoltaics (PV) and wind are the most renewable energy technologies utilized to convert both solar energy and wind into electricity for several applications such as residential [8, 9], greenhouse buildings [10], agriculture [11], and water desalination [12].However, these energy sources are variable, which leads to huge intermittence and fluctuation in power

Concentrated solar power (csp): What you need to know

Concentrated solar power (also known as concentrating solar power or concentrating solar-thermal power) works in a similar way conceptually. CSP technology produces electricity by concentrating and harnessing solar thermal energy using mirrors. At a CSP installation, mirrors reflect the sun to a receiver that collects and stores the heat energy.

Construction of solar + storage microgrid on St Kitts commenced

The storage system will be used to help meet the power demand when the solar PV is not generating. It also will improve the grid stability and serve as a backup to the remaining diesel generators. The $70 million project in the hands of the state-owned St. Kitts Electric Company (SKELEC) has been under development for almost two years.
