Solar collector
Solar collector , berfungsi untuk mengumpulkan energi panas yang berasal dari
pantulan cermin dan menyimpannya. Setelah itu energi panas yang tersimpan dibuat
untuk menggerakan uap dengan menggunakan steam trubine untuk menghasilkan
energi listrik , dimana nantinya akan ditransfer ke jaringan listrik
Keuntungan :
1. fluida yang bekerja dapat mencapai
temperatur yang tinggi pada pemusat cahaya ,
berbeda dengan sistem flat plate.
2. efisiensi thermal nya sangat bagus karena
panas yang terbuang sangat sedikit
3. Pada penampang refleksi / solar thermal
membutuhkan material yang sedikit dan
struktur yang simple daripada panel datar /
pv . Sedangkan untuk pemusat cahaya , biaya
per unit areanya lebih murah dari pada panel
Kerugian :
1. Sistem pemusat , radiasi yang tersebar sedikit
yang terkumpul tergantung dari rasio pemusatan
2. Bentuk dari sistem traking nya diperlukan untuk
mengaktifkan sistem pengumpul untuk mengikuti
arah matahari
3. Permukaan refleksi solar dapat longgar pada
sistem refleksinya , diperlukan pembersihan dan
perbaikan secara rutin
4. Pada saat cuaca berawan , pemusat cahaya
dapat menangkap radiasi yang cukup banyak
untuk celah tertentu dibanding dengan plat fatar.
Csp sendiri lebih baik dalam memusatkan cahaya

Storage Systems
Since we do not have sunlight 24 hours a day, a storage system
is needed to extend the working hours of a solar energy plant to
satisfy demand during the night time
Costs[edit]
As of 9 September 2009, the cost of building a CSP station was typically about US$2.50 to $4
per watt,[36]while the fuel (the sun's radiation) is free. Thus a 250MW CSP station would have
cost $6001000 million to build. That works out to $0.12 to0.18 USD/kWh. [36]New CSP stations
may be economically competitive with fossil fuels. Nathaniel Bullard, a solar analyst at
Bloomberg New Energy Finance, has calculated that the cost of electricity at theIvanpah
Solar Power Facility, a project under construction in Southern California, will be lower than
that from photovoltaic power and about the same as that from natural gas. [37]However, in
November 2011, Google announced that they would not invest further in CSP projects due to
the rapid price decline ofphotovoltaics. Google invested US$168 million on BrightSource. [38][39]
IRENAhas published on June 2012 a series of studies titled: "Renewable Energy Cost Analysis".
The CSP study shows the cost of both building and operation of CSP plants. Costs are expected
to decrease, but there are insufficient installations to clearly establish the learning curve. As of
March 2012, there were 1.9GW of CSP installed, with 1.8GW of that being parabolic trough. [40]
Dr Franz Trieb, Project Manager for theTRANS-CSP and MED-CSP reports , said (in August 2006)
that "The cost of collecting solar thermal energy equivalent to one barrel of oil is about US$50
right now ... and is likely to come down to around US$20 in future."
Public support
In the chart shown above, fromthe 'MED-CSP' report(published in 2005), it is suggested that, in
the period up to about 2017, public support of about US$ 75 billion will be required for CSP in
the Middle East and North Africa. But a more recent study for the Center for Global
Development (Desert power: the economics of solar thermal electricity for Europe, North Africa,
and the Middle East, PDF, 710 KB, December 2008) says that "implementation will require
international clean technology subsidies of about $20 billion over ten years. By the end of the
program, the expected profitability of unsubsidized CSP projects is competitive with that of coal
and gas power generation in Europe. Over the full life of the program, the present value cost of
CO2averted is as low as $14 per ton. This is a very modest carbon shadow price, even by
conservative standards."

CSP uses the heat engine and does not have the conversion
problem, not only can it directly connect to the grid, but also
CSP plants can be equipped with backup power from
combustible fuels. CSP uses the heat engine and does
not have the conversion problem, not only can it
directly connect to the grid, but also CSP plants
can be equipped with backup power from
combustible fuels. CSP plants can continue to
produce electricity even when clouds block the sun
or after sundown. to build a 50 MWe CSP it would
require 24 36 months.
