The book mainly focuses on CSP technologies, and those mainly consist of power tower and parabolic trough collector technologies and thermal storage. The book not only describes the design of CSP systems, but also explains the design methods and operation modes of key facilities in detail, such as the heliostat, heliostat field, parabolic trough concentrator, parabolic trough receiver tube, and whole-plant distributed control system, or DCS. It also discusses the fundamental basis of designing CSP plants and system as well as the key design points that should be considered.
