More DescriptionThis book provides an integrated and comprehensive reference on concentrating solar power (CSP) systems and technology, from the fundamental science to systems design and development, and on to real-world applications. Initial chapters review the physics of CSP, applicable energy conversion options, siting criteria and methodology, and the economics of CSP systems. The main designs of CSP system are covered in detail, complemented in turn by chapters on materials and component development. The final section reviews CSP applications, from larger scale solar power plants, to systems for industrial heat and power, industrial chemistry and solar fuels.
