Solar Power Tower

Solar power tower. In the solar power tower concept, a field of tracking heliostats reflect solar energy onto a single receiver at the top of the tower (Ugolini et al., 2009; Sheu et al., 2012; Kuravi et al., 2013).The heat transfer media include steam/water, molten salts, or compressed air. These solar tower systems can reach operating temperatures up to 1100°F.
