Unique Insight into Developments of the Emerging New Technology of Concentrated Solar Power
DUBLIN - April 9 2008 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c88219) has announced the addition of "Analyzing the Emerging Technology of Concentrated Solar Power" to their offering.
With the advent of technology, a new
generation of power plants has emerged. These power plants, with
concentrating solar power systems, use the sun as a heat source.
There are three main types of concentrating solar power systems:
parabolic-trough, dish/engine, and power tower.
Concentrating solar power systems
utilizes concentrated solar radiation as a high temperature energy
source to produce electrical power and drive chemical reactions.
These clean energy technologies are advantageous for Sunbelt
applications where direct solar radiation is high. The first
commercialized plants have been in operation in California since the
mid-1980s, providing the 354 megawatts of the world's lowest-cost
solar power.
There are many types of systems being
developed for different markets and these vary according to the
concentration devices, energy conversion methods, storage options
and other design variables. Much attention is centered on the
multi-megawatt systems that are appropriate for the on-grid market,
complementing the other major solar technology, photovoltaics, most
appropriate for smaller, off-grid applications.
Concentrating solar power's relatively
low cost and ability to deliver power during periods of peak demand
- when and where it�s needed - means that it can be a major
contributor to the world�s future needs for distributed sources of
energy.
We analyze the Emerging Technology of
Concentrated Solar Power. This research report is a comprehensive
analytical compilation which analyzes the basics of solar power, the
pros and cons of solar power, availability of solar power, and the
various uses of solar power. It is very necessary to understand the
basics of solar power in order to build on that knowledge and
analyze concentrated solar power.
The section on concentrated solar power
begins with a historical analysis of concentrated solar power, the
conversion of solar heat into electricity (that is, the primary
benefit of CSP), the section further analyzes why concentrated solar
power is necessary in today�s energy-hungry world. An analysis of
the technology behind CSP follows after this. The technologies
analyzed in the report include Central Receiver/Solar Tower,
Parabolic Troughs, and the Parabolic Dish. Case studies of projects
utilizing these technologies are included in the report.
CSP developments in various countries
such as Australia, Algeria, Egypt, India, Israel, South Africa,
Spain, and the United States among others, are analyzed in the
research report. Industry barriers and opportunities also are
included.
Analyzing the Potential of Concentrated
Solar Power analyzes the leading 73 companies involved in this
industry. Major industry players such as Q-Cells, Solarwatt,
TerraSolar, Unisolar, GT Solar, Coolearth Solar, and many others are
analyzed.
Summing up, the report concludes with an
analysis of the various projects going on in the industry, which are
setting new standards for CSP technology worldwide. Analyzing the
Potential of Concentrated Solar Power is a complete analysis of the
lucrative technology called Concentrated Solar Power.
