What does Solar Thermal Power Generation mean?

　　Solar thermal power generation is a system that converts solar energy into thermal energy and generates electricity through the thermal conversion process. It is abbreviated as CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) or STE (Solar Thermal Energy) in English.

　　The current commercial solar thermal power generation technology routes mainly include: Tower type, Dish type (point focus system) and Trough type, Linear Fresnel type (line focus system).

　　In order to realize the energy transition characterized by clean and low-carbon, all countries are exploring stable, controllable and reliable renewable energy development routes. The study found that solar thermal power generation is currently the only renewable energy technology with this capability besides hydropower.

　　With a large-capacity, low-cost, and environmentally friendly energy storage system, solar thermal power generation can overcome the intermittent and instability of solar energy resources, and achieve a stable, controllable, and dispatchable power output.

　　Solar thermal power generation is a form of renewable energy power generation that can bear the basic load of the power system. It has achieved good application effects in Spain, the United States, and the Middle East and North Africa and other countries and regions.

　　Lithium-ion battery (LIB) has become the main energy storage solution in modern social life. Among them, lithium iron phosphate batteries are a perfect replacement for lead-acid batteries, and they are the first choice for grid-connected peak shaving, off-grid energy storage, photovoltaic energy storage, UPS, data center and other industries.

　　Solar thermal power generation system combined with lithium battery energy storage system is a very promising clean energy.
