SOLAR CSP
By Cyndi, Evan Miranda, and Samantha
THE FOUR TYPES
•Parabolic trough•Dish stirling•Solar power tower•Fresnel reflectors
COSTS $$
•In 2005, Solar Panels only cost $ 3 - $ 4 each.
PARABOLIC TROUGHS
•Type of solar power energy•Transforms sunlight into energy•They increase temperatures around them by 400 degrees
LINEAR FRESNEL REFLECTORS
•Mirror focus on sunlight•30x its normal intensity•Absorbs thermal fluid
DISH STIRLING SYSTEM
•Generates power parabolically•Reflects sunlight to receiver •Converts sunlight to energy•One set of mirrors and one receiver
TRANSFORMATION
•Concentrated solar power systems uses lenses or mirrors tracking systems to focus on a large area of sunlight into a small beam.
TRANSFORMATION
•The heat is used as a heat source for conventional power plant.
PROS/CONSPROS•Give off no pollution•Quiet•Provides free electricity•Renewable
CONS•Expensive ($1000)•Only work in daylight•Weather problem
