Download Solution PDFCentral receiver system
Central receiver (or power tower) systems use a field of distributed mirrors also known as the heliostats that individually track the sun and focus the sunlight on the top of a tower.
By concentrating the sunlight 600–1000 times, they achieve temperatures from 500°C to 1000°C.
A heat-transfer fluid heated in the receiver is used to heat a working fluid, which, in turn, is used in a conventional turbine generator to produce electricity.
