6. Concentrated Solar Power
CSP is a power generation technology that uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate the sun’s rays and,
That heat a fluid and produce steam.
The steam drives a turbine and generates power in the same way as conventional power plants.
Other concepts are being explored and not all future CSP plants will necessarily use a steam cycle.
