Concentrated Solar Power or CSP is a system based on many reflective mirrors or heliostats which shine reflected sunlight onto a single concentration tower. Different iterations of this technology also include the use of Parabolic Trough Systems where the light is reflected onto a receiver attached to the dishes themselves, all the different iterations all have a similar function. The concentration tower functions using the heat collected from the heliostats reflecting solar radiation (in this case sunlight) to heat up salt at the top of the tower called the central receiver which is heated to approximately 1287?C (other systems vary in temperature). This molten salt is then stored in a vat which is designed to keep as much heat as possible, the super-heated salt is to lose only 1% of the heat energy per day making it a very efficient method and allows flexibility when there is no sun out. When energy production is required the salt is transferred to a heat exchanger which uses the heat from the salt to boil water implementing the use of conduction allow the energy from the molten salt to transfer into water to change it into a gas and generates steam which in turn powers a turbine thus producing electricity. This is an extremely efficient and clean way of producing energy, all the salt and water is recycled through the system by the use of condenser which turns uses a convection current to convert the steam back into water which is then re-stored. The salt in the heat exchanger is then channelled into a secondary vat which stores the cooled salt or pumps the salt back up to the central receiver and the entire process is repeated. This highly efficient system is nearly self-sustaining, to no restoration of materials and if it ever is required it only takes water and salt. The cost of receiving energy created from these plants are estimated to be around 13 cents per kilowatt hour and will drop to 6 cents by 2020 (according to energy.gov). Implementing this new technology could be the first step towards a much cleaner future. The overall efficiency of CSP plants are highly dependent on where a CSP plant is situated. Deserts are the most effective areas to construct CSP plants as there is plenty of sun and heat during the day. The molten salt vats keep the salt inside very hot as slow down the decrease in heat energy which is much cheaper and effectively stored in contrast to using batteries. So during the night or when there is little sun out the salt is still heated at very high temperatures and acts as backup power. Wind turbines only function best when there is wind present and solar panels require the sun to be out otherwise these systems suffer major efficiency drops during these times. Solar panels use photons (light particles) to activate an electric current through the panel by using titanium dioxide and dye molecules inside the conductive layer of the panel which is made of tin dioxide (according to Brayton Energy Canada). Once electrons are pushed out through a titanium dioxide layer it travels through the layer and into a circuit board which converts it into energy
