Modeling the Potential for Thermal Concentrating Solar Power Technologies

In this paper we explore the tradeoffs between thermal storage capacity, cost, and other system parameters in order to examine possible evolutionary pathways for thermal concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies A representation of CSP performance that is suitable for incorporation into economic...
