Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun''s rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use. This enables CSP systems to be flexible, or dispatchable, options for ...
