Abstract

Solar energy is one of the best renewable sources of energy. Solar power is not a new technology but the way of utilizing solar energy makes more attractive. Generally, four types of solar power generation technologies are operating, PTC, PTS, LFRS, PDS. On large scale, centralise tower consisting of heat transfer fluid such as, therminol VP-1 synthetic oil, dowthermA, etc, circulates within the system. In addition to this PCMs offer more flexibility in design, thermal storage possibility and are more advantageous to less stringent container requirements. This paper explains that how the solar radiations are concentrated to a solar power tower and generate power with different configurations. Also shows the maximum possible utilization of heat using various heat transfer fluids and Phase Change Materials.
