A solar power tower, also known as ''central tower'' power plant or ''heliostat'' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun''s rays upon a collector tower (the target). Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems are seen as one viable solution for renewable, pollution-free energy.

An Overview of Heliostats and Concentrating Solar Power Tower

This overview will focus on the central receiver, or “power tower” concentrating solar power plant design, in which a field of mirrors - heliostats, track the sun throughout the day and year to reflect solar

Solar power tower

As solar power towers commonly use steam to drive the turbines, and water tends to be scarce in regions with high solar energy, another advantage of open pits is that they tend to collect water,

Solar Power Tower

A solar power tower (SPT) is characterized by the way in which solar energy is collected and concentrated. SPT system utilize dual-axis sun-tracking mirrors called heliostats to focus sunlight

Solar Collectors

Solar power towers are generally used for electricity generation as the hot fluid it produces can be used to produce steam, which drives a turbine

Solar Collectors

In tower (or central receiver) plants, mirrors, known as heliostats, track the sun on two axes, with each heliostat typically on its own base, foundation, and motor to direct sunlight onto the
