Orientation
• Collector orientation influences incidence angle of the Sun
• North-South layout: large seasonal variation (3-4 times is possible), greater overall energy production
• East-West layout: even distribution of energy production
• Select orientation for specific conditions (energy prices, load, etc)

PTC
• Troughs rotate on one axis to track the Sun
• Receiver is a tube composed of an inner pipe (carrying the working fluid) surrounded by a vacuum
• Working fluid temperature range: 150-400 oC
usually an oil (water use would result in high pressure at the operating temperature
• Steam turbine is used (due to the low temperature)

Applications Grid-connected plants, mid- to high process heat (80MWe)
Grid-connected plants, hightemperature process heat (10MWe)
Stand-alone, small off-grid power systems or clustered to larger grid connecteddish parks (25 kwe size)
Advantages • Commercially available operating temperature potential up to 500°C• Commercially proven annual net plant efficiency of 14% • Commercially proven investment and operating costs• Modularity• Best land-use factor of all solartechnologies• Lowest materials demand• Hybrid concept proven• Storage capability
• Good mid-term prospects for highconversion efficiencies, operatingtemperature potential beyond1,000°C • Storage at high temperatures• Hybrid operation possible
• Very high conversion efficiencies –peak solar to net electric conversionover 30%• Modularity• Hybrid operation possible• Operational experience of firstdemonstration projects
Disadvantages The use of oil-based heat transfer media restricts operating temperatures today to 400°C, resulting in only moderate steam Qualities
Projected annual performance values,investment and operating costs stillneed to be proven in commercial operation
Reliability needs to be improved• Projected cost goals of massproduction still need to be achieved

Thermal Storage
• Thermal energy at high temperature can be efficiently stored (95%)
• Allows for greater control (dispatchability) of the electrical power output of the CSP plant
• Reduces need for large generator size
• Low cost: $25-75/kWh
• Thermal nature of CSP provides an inertia that buffers against transient changes in DNI (cloud cover) even without a discrete storage module
