Abstract

Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a technology that converting the sunlight into thermal energy, and using the produced heat to drive a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) to generate electrical power. CSP is being widely commercialized and expected to continue growing at a fast pace. However, China's CSP development is now in the early stages of industrialization, related products on the value chain are still in the trial and the key technologies still need further validation. China's solar resources of direct radiation survey system cannot meet the growing demand for wider solar energy development and utilization. Meanwhile, China is also lack of capacity and experience in power plants design, system integration, construction and operation. As the relevant test system and standard system are still blank, we are unable to verify the performance and reliability of Chinese products. In order to promote the industrialization development of CSP, it requires the policy level to encourage and support research and development of solar thermal power technology, construction of demonstration projects so as to stimulate the expansion of the CSP market.
