Concentrating Solar Thermal Power PlantsLinear Concentrating SystemsSolar Power TowersSolar Dish-EnginesLinear concentrating systems collect the sun''s energy using long, rectangular, curved (U-shaped) mirrors. The mirrors focus sunlight onto receivers (tubes) that run the length of the mirrors. The concentrated sunlight heats a fluid flowing through the tubes. The fluid is sent to a heat exchanger to boil water in a conventional steam-turbine generat...See more on eia.govPublished: Sep 25, 2024Science Photo Library
