Solar Power Generations
There are two main ways of generating energy from the sun
Photovoltaic (PV) Concentrated Solar Thermal(CST)
Converts sunlight directly Generate electricity indirectly into electricity
ELECTRICAL(Photovoltaics)
SOLAR(Sun)
Photovoltaic Solar Generation
Concentrated Solar Thermal Generation
ELECTRICAL(Generator)
MECHANICAL(Turbine)
THERMAL (Boiler)
SOLAR(Sun)
Thermal energy storage (TES)
bull Just like battery is used to store chemical energy Thermal energy storage stores the Thermal Energy
bull Molten salt can be used to store Thermal Energy so that during the conditions of bad weather or during night time this stored Thermal energy can be used to generate steam which in turn rotates the turbines and generates electrical energy
bull CSP plant with thermal storage was first evidence operating in Granada Spain in 2008 which is a 50 MW plant with seven hours of thermal storage
bull Molten salt is mixture of 60 sodium nitrate and 40 potassium nitrate
Basic Working Principle
bull Mirrors reflect and concentrate sunlight
bull Receivers collect that solar energy and convert it into heat energy
bull A generator can then be used to produce electricity from this heat energy
WORKING OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
WORKING OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
WORKING OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
Types of Solar Thermal Plants(based on the arrangement of reflector and receiver)
1) Parabolic Trough
2) Solar Power Tower
3) Solar dish
4) Fresnel Collector
1) Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough
Parabolic trough System
bull A parabolic trough consists of a linear parabolic reflector that concentrates light onto a receiver positioned along the reflectors focal line
bull The receiver is a tube positioned directly above the middle of the parabolic mirror and filled with a working fluid
bull The reflector follows the sun during the daylight hours by tracking along a single axis
bull A working fluid (eg molten salt) is heated to 150ndash350 degC (423ndash623 K (302ndash662 degF)) as it flows through the receiver and is then used as a heat source for a power generation system
bull The overall efficiency from collector to grid ie (Electrical Output Power) is about 25
2) Solar Power Tower
Solar power tower systems
bull Power towers (also known as central tower power plants or heliostat power plants)
bull These designs capture and focus the suns thermal energy with thousands of tracking mirrors (called heliostats) in roughly a two square mile field
bull A tower resides in the center of the heliostat field The heliostats focus concentrated sunlight on a receiver which sits on top of the tower
bull Within the receiver the concentrated sunlight heats molten salt to over 1000 degF (538 degC)
bull The heated molten salt then flows into a thermal storage tank where it is stored maintaining 98 thermal efficiency and eventually pumped to a steam generator
bull The steam drives a standard turbine to generate electricity
Solar power tower systems
bull Some concentrating solar power towers are air-cooled instead of water-cooled to avoid using limited desert water
bull Early designs used these focused rays to heat water and used the resulting steam to power a turbine
bull Newer designs using liquid sodium(Na) have been introduced and systems using molten salts as the working fluids are now in operation
3) Solar dish
Solar dish system
bull The system consists of a stand-alone parabolic reflector thatconcentrates light onto a receiver positioned at the reflectorsfocal point
bull The working fluid(hydrogen or helium) in the receiver is heatedto 250ndash700 degC (523ndash973 K (482ndash1292 degF)) and then used by aStirling engine to generate power
bull Parabolic-dish systems have the highest efficiency of all solartechnologies provide solar-to-electric efficiency between 31ndash32
bull Each dish produces around 25kW of electricity
Stirling Engine
4)Fresnel Reflector
Fresnel Reflector system
bull Linear Fresnel reflectors use long thin segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed absorber located at a common focal point of the reflectors
bull These mirrors are capable of concentrating the sunrsquos energy to approximately 30 times its normal intensity
bull This concentrated energy is transferred through the absorber into some thermal fluid
bull The fluid then goes through a heat exchanger to power a steam generator
ADVANTAGES1) No Fuel Cost
2) 247 PowerSolar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a
day This is made possible as solar thermal power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc
3) No Pollution and Global Warming EffectsSolar Thermal Energy does not cause pollution which
is one of the biggest advantages
4) Using Existing Industrial BaseSolar Thermal Energy uses equipment like solar
thermal mirrors and turbines which is made in large scale at low cost by the existing Industrial Base and requires no major changes in equipment and materials
5) Easy storage of energyCan store energy using molten salts instead of using batteries
6)Less space Uses less space than photovoltaics for the same energy generation
output7)Cheap running cost
The running costs of Solar Thermal are cheaper than coal or gas
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1) High Costs The initial capital costs for solar thermal is large
2) Water IssueSolar Thermal Plants use lots of Water which is Major Problem in Desert Areas
Using non-water cooling raises the cost of CSP projects too much
3) Ecological and Cultural IssuesThe Usage of Massive Arrays of Mirrors is noted to heavily impact the
Desert Wildlife endangering the endangered species
4) Limited Locations and Size LimitationsSolar Thermal Energy can only be built in places which have the high amount
of solar radiation They can be built in deserts mostly and require a large land area This means its not possible to build them in populated areas
5)Canrsquot be installed in residential areaphotovoltaic can be installed in residential area but Solar thermal canrsquot
be installed in residential area
6) Build time would be longer than other forms of energy generation
DISADVANTAGES
bull 48 GW is the overall Operational capacity throughout the world
bull 58 GW is now under construction throughout the world
Current scenario in the World
bull The largest operational Solar Thermal Power Plant is located in CaliforniaUSA with a capacity of 392 MW
bull The largest Solar Thermal Power Plant under construction is located in China with a capacity of 2GW
bull Currently 002 of the total power is generated by Solar Thermal Plants but a study by the Greenpiece foundation found that Solar thermal power could account for 25 of the worldrsquos energy by 2050
Current Scenario in India
bull The first Solar Thermal Power Plant came into operation in India in 2013 witha capacity of 50MW in Naukh Jaisalmer in Rajasthan
bull 500 MW of Solar Thermal power is to be set up by the year 2017

INTRODUCTION
bull Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Generation Systems use mirrors to collect sunlight and produce steam by solar heat to drive turbines for generating power
Electrical
Mechanical
Thermal
Solar
History
bull In 1866 Auguste Mouchout used a parabolic trough to produce steam for the first solar steam engine
bull In 1886 The first patent for a solar collector was obtained by the Italian Alessandro Battaglia in Genoa Italy
bull In 1913 Frank Shuman finished a 55 HP parabolic solar thermal energy station in Maadi Egypt for irrigation
bull In 1929 The first solar-power system using a mirror dish was built by American Scientist Dr RH Goddard
bull In 1968 The first concentrated-solar plant which entered into operation in SantIlario near Genoa Italy
bull in 1981 The 10 MW Solar One power tower was developed in California
bull In 1984 The parabolic-trough technology of the Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) begun its combined capacity is 354 MW
bull In 2014 The worlds largest solar thermal plant (392 MW) achieves commercial operation in Ivanpah California USA
Solar Power Generations
There are two main ways of generating energy from the sun
Photovoltaic (PV) Concentrated Solar Thermal(CST)
Converts sunlight directly Generate electricity indirectly into electricity
ELECTRICAL(Photovoltaics)
SOLAR(Sun)
Photovoltaic Solar Generation
Concentrated Solar Thermal Generation
ELECTRICAL(Generator)
MECHANICAL(Turbine)
THERMAL (Boiler)
SOLAR(Sun)
Thermal energy storage (TES)
bull Just like battery is used to store chemical energy Thermal energy storage stores the Thermal Energy
bull Molten salt can be used to store Thermal Energy so that during the conditions of bad weather or during night time this stored Thermal energy can be used to generate steam which in turn rotates the turbines and generates electrical energy
bull CSP plant with thermal storage was first evidence operating in Granada Spain in 2008 which is a 50 MW plant with seven hours of thermal storage
bull Molten salt is mixture of 60 sodium nitrate and 40 potassium nitrate
Basic Working Principle
bull Mirrors reflect and concentrate sunlight
bull Receivers collect that solar energy and convert it into heat energy
bull A generator can then be used to produce electricity from this heat energy
WORKING OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
WORKING OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
WORKING OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
Types of Solar Thermal Plants(based on the arrangement of reflector and receiver)
1) Parabolic Trough
2) Solar Power Tower
3) Solar dish
4) Fresnel Collector
1) Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough
Parabolic trough System
bull A parabolic trough consists of a linear parabolic reflector that concentrates light onto a receiver positioned along the reflectors focal line
bull The receiver is a tube positioned directly above the middle of the parabolic mirror and filled with a working fluid
bull The reflector follows the sun during the daylight hours by tracking along a single axis
bull A working fluid (eg molten salt) is heated to 150ndash350 degC (423ndash623 K (302ndash662 degF)) as it flows through the receiver and is then used as a heat source for a power generation system
bull The overall efficiency from collector to grid ie (Electrical Output Power) is about 25
2) Solar Power Tower
Solar power tower systems
bull Power towers (also known as central tower power plants or heliostat power plants)
bull These designs capture and focus the suns thermal energy with thousands of tracking mirrors (called heliostats) in roughly a two square mile field
bull A tower resides in the center of the heliostat field The heliostats focus concentrated sunlight on a receiver which sits on top of the tower
bull Within the receiver the concentrated sunlight heats molten salt to over 1000 degF (538 degC)
bull The heated molten salt then flows into a thermal storage tank where it is stored maintaining 98 thermal efficiency and eventually pumped to a steam generator
bull The steam drives a standard turbine to generate electricity
Solar power tower systems
bull Some concentrating solar power towers are air-cooled instead of water-cooled to avoid using limited desert water
bull Early designs used these focused rays to heat water and used the resulting steam to power a turbine
bull Newer designs using liquid sodium(Na) have been introduced and systems using molten salts as the working fluids are now in operation
3) Solar dish
Solar dish system
bull The system consists of a stand-alone parabolic reflector thatconcentrates light onto a receiver positioned at the reflectorsfocal point
bull The working fluid(hydrogen or helium) in the receiver is heatedto 250ndash700 degC (523ndash973 K (482ndash1292 degF)) and then used by aStirling engine to generate power
bull Parabolic-dish systems have the highest efficiency of all solartechnologies provide solar-to-electric efficiency between 31ndash32
bull Each dish produces around 25kW of electricity
Stirling Engine
4)Fresnel Reflector
Fresnel Reflector system
bull Linear Fresnel reflectors use long thin segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed absorber located at a common focal point of the reflectors
bull These mirrors are capable of concentrating the sunrsquos energy to approximately 30 times its normal intensity
bull This concentrated energy is transferred through the absorber into some thermal fluid
bull The fluid then goes through a heat exchanger to power a steam generator
ADVANTAGES1) No Fuel Cost
2) 247 PowerSolar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a
day This is made possible as solar thermal power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc
3) No Pollution and Global Warming EffectsSolar Thermal Energy does not cause pollution which
is one of the biggest advantages
4) Using Existing Industrial BaseSolar Thermal Energy uses equipment like solar
thermal mirrors and turbines which is made in large scale at low cost by the existing Industrial Base and requires no major changes in equipment and materials
5) Easy storage of energyCan store energy using molten salts instead of using batteries
6)Less space Uses less space than photovoltaics for the same energy generation
output7)Cheap running cost
The running costs of Solar Thermal are cheaper than coal or gas
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1) High Costs The initial capital costs for solar thermal is large
2) Water IssueSolar Thermal Plants use lots of Water which is Major Problem in Desert Areas
Using non-water cooling raises the cost of CSP projects too much
3) Ecological and Cultural IssuesThe Usage of Massive Arrays of Mirrors is noted to heavily impact the
Desert Wildlife endangering the endangered species
4) Limited Locations and Size LimitationsSolar Thermal Energy can only be built in places which have the high amount
of solar radiation They can be built in deserts mostly and require a large land area This means its not possible to build them in populated areas
5)Canrsquot be installed in residential areaphotovoltaic can be installed in residential area but Solar thermal canrsquot
be installed in residential area
6) Build time would be longer than other forms of energy generation
DISADVANTAGES
bull 48 GW is the overall Operational capacity throughout the world
bull 58 GW is now under construction throughout the world
Current scenario in the World
bull The largest operational Solar Thermal Power Plant is located in CaliforniaUSA with a capacity of 392 MW
bull The largest Solar Thermal Power Plant under construction is located in China with a capacity of 2GW
bull Currently 002 of the total power is generated by Solar Thermal Plants but a study by the Greenpiece foundation found that Solar thermal power could account for 25 of the worldrsquos energy by 2050
Current Scenario in India
bull The first Solar Thermal Power Plant came into operation in India in 2013 witha capacity of 50MW in Naukh Jaisalmer in Rajasthan
bull 500 MW of Solar Thermal power is to be set up by the year 2017

Thermal energy storage (TES)
bull Just like battery is used to store chemical energy Thermal energy storage stores the Thermal Energy
bull Molten salt can be used to store Thermal Energy so that during the conditions of bad weather or during night time this stored Thermal energy can be used to generate steam which in turn rotates the turbines and generates electrical energy
bull CSP plant with thermal storage was first evidence operating in Granada Spain in 2008 which is a 50 MW plant with seven hours of thermal storage
bull Molten salt is mixture of 60 sodium nitrate and 40 potassium nitrate
Basic Working Principle
bull Mirrors reflect and concentrate sunlight
bull Receivers collect that solar energy and convert it into heat energy
bull A generator can then be used to produce electricity from this heat energy

WORKING OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
Types of Solar Thermal Plants(based on the arrangement of reflector and receiver)
1) Parabolic Trough
2) Solar Power Tower
3) Solar dish
4) Fresnel Collector
1) Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough
Parabolic trough System
bull A parabolic trough consists of a linear parabolic reflector that concentrates light onto a receiver positioned along the reflectors focal line
bull The receiver is a tube positioned directly above the middle of the parabolic mirror and filled with a working fluid
bull The reflector follows the sun during the daylight hours by tracking along a single axis
bull A working fluid (eg molten salt) is heated to 150ndash350 degC (423ndash623 K (302ndash662 degF)) as it flows through the receiver and is then used as a heat source for a power generation system
bull The overall efficiency from collector to grid ie (Electrical Output Power) is about 25
2) Solar Power Tower
Solar power tower systems
bull Power towers (also known as central tower power plants or heliostat power plants)
bull These designs capture and focus the suns thermal energy with thousands of tracking mirrors (called heliostats) in roughly a two square mile field
bull A tower resides in the center of the heliostat field The heliostats focus concentrated sunlight on a receiver which sits on top of the tower
bull Within the receiver the concentrated sunlight heats molten salt to over 1000 degF (538 degC)
bull The heated molten salt then flows into a thermal storage tank where it is stored maintaining 98 thermal efficiency and eventually pumped to a steam generator
bull The steam drives a standard turbine to generate electricity
Solar power tower systems
bull Some concentrating solar power towers are air-cooled instead of water-cooled to avoid using limited desert water
bull Early designs used these focused rays to heat water and used the resulting steam to power a turbine
bull Newer designs using liquid sodium(Na) have been introduced and systems using molten salts as the working fluids are now in operation
3) Solar dish
Solar dish system
bull The system consists of a stand-alone parabolic reflector thatconcentrates light onto a receiver positioned at the reflectorsfocal point
bull The working fluid(hydrogen or helium) in the receiver is heatedto 250ndash700 degC (523ndash973 K (482ndash1292 degF)) and then used by aStirling engine to generate power
bull Parabolic-dish systems have the highest efficiency of all solartechnologies provide solar-to-electric efficiency between 31ndash32
bull Each dish produces around 25kW of electricity
Stirling Engine
4)Fresnel Reflector
Fresnel Reflector system
bull Linear Fresnel reflectors use long thin segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed absorber located at a common focal point of the reflectors
bull These mirrors are capable of concentrating the sunrsquos energy to approximately 30 times its normal intensity
bull This concentrated energy is transferred through the absorber into some thermal fluid
bull The fluid then goes through a heat exchanger to power a steam generator
ADVANTAGES1) No Fuel Cost
2) 247 PowerSolar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a
day This is made possible as solar thermal power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc
3) No Pollution and Global Warming EffectsSolar Thermal Energy does not cause pollution which
is one of the biggest advantages
4) Using Existing Industrial BaseSolar Thermal Energy uses equipment like solar
thermal mirrors and turbines which is made in large scale at low cost by the existing Industrial Base and requires no major changes in equipment and materials
5) Easy storage of energyCan store energy using molten salts instead of using batteries
6)Less space Uses less space than photovoltaics for the same energy generation
output7)Cheap running cost
The running costs of Solar Thermal are cheaper than coal or gas
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1) High Costs The initial capital costs for solar thermal is large
2) Water IssueSolar Thermal Plants use lots of Water which is Major Problem in Desert Areas
Using non-water cooling raises the cost of CSP projects too much
3) Ecological and Cultural IssuesThe Usage of Massive Arrays of Mirrors is noted to heavily impact the
Desert Wildlife endangering the endangered species
4) Limited Locations and Size LimitationsSolar Thermal Energy can only be built in places which have the high amount
of solar radiation They can be built in deserts mostly and require a large land area This means its not possible to build them in populated areas
5)Canrsquot be installed in residential areaphotovoltaic can be installed in residential area but Solar thermal canrsquot
be installed in residential area
6) Build time would be longer than other forms of energy generation
DISADVANTAGES

Types of Solar Thermal Plants(based on the arrangement of reflector and receiver)
1) Parabolic Trough
2) Solar Power Tower
3) Solar dish
4) Fresnel Collector
1) Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough
Parabolic trough System
bull A parabolic trough consists of a linear parabolic reflector that concentrates light onto a receiver positioned along the reflectors focal line
bull The receiver is a tube positioned directly above the middle of the parabolic mirror and filled with a working fluid
bull The reflector follows the sun during the daylight hours by tracking along a single axis
bull A working fluid (eg molten salt) is heated to 150ndash350 degC (423ndash623 K (302ndash662 degF)) as it flows through the receiver and is then used as a heat source for a power generation system
bull The overall efficiency from collector to grid ie (Electrical Output Power) is about 25
2) Solar Power Tower
Solar power tower systems
bull Power towers (also known as central tower power plants or heliostat power plants)
bull These designs capture and focus the suns thermal energy with thousands of tracking mirrors (called heliostats) in roughly a two square mile field
bull A tower resides in the center of the heliostat field The heliostats focus concentrated sunlight on a receiver which sits on top of the tower
bull Within the receiver the concentrated sunlight heats molten salt to over 1000 degF (538 degC)
bull The heated molten salt then flows into a thermal storage tank where it is stored maintaining 98 thermal efficiency and eventually pumped to a steam generator
bull The steam drives a standard turbine to generate electricity
Solar power tower systems
bull Some concentrating solar power towers are air-cooled instead of water-cooled to avoid using limited desert water
bull Early designs used these focused rays to heat water and used the resulting steam to power a turbine
bull Newer designs using liquid sodium(Na) have been introduced and systems using molten salts as the working fluids are now in operation
3) Solar dish
Solar dish system
bull The system consists of a stand-alone parabolic reflector thatconcentrates light onto a receiver positioned at the reflectorsfocal point
bull The working fluid(hydrogen or helium) in the receiver is heatedto 250ndash700 degC (523ndash973 K (482ndash1292 degF)) and then used by aStirling engine to generate power
bull Parabolic-dish systems have the highest efficiency of all solartechnologies provide solar-to-electric efficiency between 31ndash32
bull Each dish produces around 25kW of electricity
Stirling Engine
4)Fresnel Reflector
Fresnel Reflector system
bull Linear Fresnel reflectors use long thin segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed absorber located at a common focal point of the reflectors
bull These mirrors are capable of concentrating the sunrsquos energy to approximately 30 times its normal intensity
bull This concentrated energy is transferred through the absorber into some thermal fluid
bull The fluid then goes through a heat exchanger to power a steam generator
ADVANTAGES1) No Fuel Cost
2) 247 PowerSolar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a
day This is made possible as solar thermal power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc
3) No Pollution and Global Warming EffectsSolar Thermal Energy does not cause pollution which
is one of the biggest advantages
4) Using Existing Industrial BaseSolar Thermal Energy uses equipment like solar

bull The system consists of a stand-alone parabolic reflector thatconcentrates light onto a receiver positioned at the reflectorsfocal point
bull The working fluid(hydrogen or helium) in the receiver is heatedto 250ndash700 degC (523ndash973 K (482ndash1292 degF)) and then used by aStirling engine to generate power
bull Parabolic-dish systems have the highest efficiency of all solartechnologies provide solar-to-electric efficiency between 31ndash32
bull Each dish produces around 25kW of electricity
Stirling Engine
4)Fresnel Reflector
Fresnel Reflector system
bull Linear Fresnel reflectors use long thin segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed absorber located at a common focal point of the reflectors
bull These mirrors are capable of concentrating the sunrsquos energy to approximately 30 times its normal intensity
bull This concentrated energy is transferred through the absorber into some thermal fluid
bull The fluid then goes through a heat exchanger to power a steam generator
ADVANTAGES1) No Fuel Cost
2) 247 PowerSolar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a
day This is made possible as solar thermal power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc
3) No Pollution and Global Warming EffectsSolar Thermal Energy does not cause pollution which
is one of the biggest advantages
4) Using Existing Industrial BaseSolar Thermal Energy uses equipment like solar
thermal mirrors and turbines which is made in large scale at low cost by the existing Industrial Base and requires no major changes in equipment and materials
5) Easy storage of energyCan store energy using molten salts instead of using batteries
6)Less space Uses less space than photovoltaics for the same energy generation
output7)Cheap running cost
The running costs of Solar Thermal are cheaper than coal or gas
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1) High Costs The initial capital costs for solar thermal is large
2) Water IssueSolar Thermal Plants use lots of Water which is Major Problem in Desert Areas
Using non-water cooling raises the cost of CSP projects too much
3) Ecological and Cultural IssuesThe Usage of Massive Arrays of Mirrors is noted to heavily impact the
Desert Wildlife endangering the endangered species
4) Limited Locations and Size LimitationsSolar Thermal Energy can only be built in places which have the high amount
of solar radiation They can be built in deserts mostly and require a large land area This means its not possible to build them in populated areas
5)Canrsquot be installed in residential areaphotovoltaic can be installed in residential area but Solar thermal canrsquot

bull A tower resides in the center of the heliostat field The heliostats focus concentrated sunlight on a receiver which sits on top of the tower
bull Within the receiver the concentrated sunlight heats molten salt to over 1000 degF (538 degC)
bull The heated molten salt then flows into a thermal storage tank where it is stored maintaining 98 thermal efficiency and eventually pumped to a steam generator
bull The steam drives a standard turbine to generate electricity
Solar power tower systems
bull Some concentrating solar power towers are air-cooled instead of water-cooled to avoid using limited desert water
bull Early designs used these focused rays to heat water and used the resulting steam to power a turbine
bull Newer designs using liquid sodium(Na) have been introduced and systems using molten salts as the working fluids are now in operation
3) Solar dish
Solar dish system
bull The system consists of a stand-alone parabolic reflector thatconcentrates light onto a receiver positioned at the reflectorsfocal point
bull The working fluid(hydrogen or helium) in the receiver is heatedto 250ndash700 degC (523ndash973 K (482ndash1292 degF)) and then used by aStirling engine to generate power
bull Parabolic-dish systems have the highest efficiency of all solartechnologies provide solar-to-electric efficiency between 31ndash32
bull Each dish produces around 25kW of electricity
Stirling Engine
4)Fresnel Reflector
Fresnel Reflector system
bull Linear Fresnel reflectors use long thin segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed absorber located at a common focal point of the reflectors
bull These mirrors are capable of concentrating the sunrsquos energy to approximately 30 times its normal intensity
bull This concentrated energy is transferred through the absorber into some thermal fluid
bull The fluid then goes through a heat exchanger to power a steam generator
ADVANTAGES1) No Fuel Cost
2) 247 PowerSolar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a
day This is made possible as solar thermal power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc
3) No Pollution and Global Warming EffectsSolar Thermal Energy does not cause pollution which
is one of the biggest advantages
4) Using Existing Industrial BaseSolar Thermal Energy uses equipment like solar
thermal mirrors and turbines which is made in large scale at low cost by the existing Industrial Base and requires no major changes in equipment and materials
5) Easy storage of energyCan store energy using molten salts instead of using batteries
6)Less space Uses less space than photovoltaics for the same energy generation
output7)Cheap running cost
The running costs of Solar Thermal are cheaper than coal or gas
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1) High Costs The initial capital costs for solar thermal is large
2) Water IssueSolar Thermal Plants use lots of Water which is Major Problem in Desert Areas
Using non-water cooling raises the cost of CSP projects too much
3) Ecological and Cultural IssuesThe Usage of Massive Arrays of Mirrors is noted to heavily impact the
Desert Wildlife endangering the endangered species
4) Limited Locations and Size LimitationsSolar Thermal Energy can only be built in places which have the high amount
of solar radiation They can be built in deserts mostly and require a large land area This means its not possible to build them in populated areas
5)Canrsquot be installed in residential areaphotovoltaic can be installed in residential area but Solar thermal canrsquot
be installed in residential area
6) Build time would be longer than other forms of energy generation

CONCLUSION
bull As all the Non-renewable sources of energy are exploiting day by day SUN is the main source which is available and is emitting radiations of 174 Peta Watt If we can convert 11000000 of this energy that would be more than Sufficient to meet the current Demand of the world

4)Fresnel Reflector
Fresnel Reflector system
bull Linear Fresnel reflectors use long thin segments of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a fixed absorber located at a common focal point of the reflectors
bull These mirrors are capable of concentrating the sunrsquos energy to approximately 30 times its normal intensity
bull This concentrated energy is transferred through the absorber into some thermal fluid
bull The fluid then goes through a heat exchanger to power a steam generator
ADVANTAGES1) No Fuel Cost
2) 247 PowerSolar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a
day This is made possible as solar thermal power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc
3) No Pollution and Global Warming EffectsSolar Thermal Energy does not cause pollution which
is one of the biggest advantages
4) Using Existing Industrial BaseSolar Thermal Energy uses equipment like solar
thermal mirrors and turbines which is made in large scale at low cost by the existing Industrial Base and requires no major changes in equipment and materials
5) Easy storage of energyCan store energy using molten salts instead of using batteries
6)Less space Uses less space than photovoltaics for the same energy generation
output7)Cheap running cost
The running costs of Solar Thermal are cheaper than coal or gas
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1) High Costs The initial capital costs for solar thermal is large
2) Water IssueSolar Thermal Plants use lots of Water which is Major Problem in Desert Areas
Using non-water cooling raises the cost of CSP projects too much
3) Ecological and Cultural IssuesThe Usage of Massive Arrays of Mirrors is noted to heavily impact the
Desert Wildlife endangering the endangered species
4) Limited Locations and Size LimitationsSolar Thermal Energy can only be built in places which have the high amount
of solar radiation They can be built in deserts mostly and require a large land area This means its not possible to build them in populated areas
5)Canrsquot be installed in residential areaphotovoltaic can be installed in residential area but Solar thermal canrsquot
be installed in residential area
6) Build time would be longer than other forms of energy generation

bull 48 GW is the overall Operational capacity throughout the world
bull 58 GW is now under construction throughout the world
Current scenario in the World
bull The largest operational Solar Thermal Power Plant is located in CaliforniaUSA with a capacity of 392 MW
bull The largest Solar Thermal Power Plant under construction is located in China with a capacity of 2GW
bull Currently 002 of the total power is generated by Solar Thermal Plants but a study by the Greenpiece foundation found that Solar thermal power could account for 25 of the worldrsquos energy by 2050
Current Scenario in India
bull The first Solar Thermal Power Plant came into operation in India in 2013 witha capacity of 50MW in Naukh Jaisalmer in Rajasthan
bull 500 MW of Solar Thermal power is to be set up by the year 2017
