Abstract:
The goal of this project is to design and develop a concentrated solar power system that can generate a minimum of 10 W of electricity. Generally, a CSP system can generate heat at temperatures between 300°C and 1000°C (572°F and 1832°F), depending on the specific technology used. For example, parabolic trough systems, which are one of the most common types of CSP technology, can typically generate heat at temperatures between 300°C and 400°C (572°F and 752°F), while tower systems can generate heat at temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F), which heats a fluid or material, such as molten salt or water. The steam can be used in cooking food. High-temperature heat generated by CSP can be used in various cooking applications, such as baking, roasting, and grilling. This can help reduce the amount of fossil fuels used in cooking and decrease carbon emissions. Also, it can be used to melt metals, extract minerals, or produce hydrogen gas. This can help reduce the carbon footprint of these processes by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. The system has been efficient, cost-effectives, and environmentally friendly. The project has aimed to improve the efficiency and performance of CSP technology and explore the potential for integrating CSP with other renewable energy sources such as wind and hydropower.
