Technology Fundamentals: Solar thermal power plants
Volker Quaschning describes the basics of the most important types of solar thermal power plants. Most techniques for generating electricity from heat need high temperatures to achieve reasonable efficiencies. The output temperatures of non-concentrating solar collectors are limited to temperatures below 200°C.

Solar thermal power plant
Solar thermal power plants are electricity generation plants that utilize energy from the Sun to heat a fluid to a high temperature.This fluid then transfers its heat to water, which then becomes superheated steam.This steam is then used to turn turbines in a power plant, and this mechanical energy is converted into electricity by a generator.This type of generation is essentially the
