Power Tower. DOE funds solar research and development (R&D) in power tower (central receiver) systems as one of four concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies aiming to meet the goals of the SunShot Initiative. More than 50 MW of power from CSP power towers are installed in the United States, Spain, and Germany.
The project also has a thermal energy storage capacity of 5,907 megawatt hours (MWh) as well as 70,000 heliostats that track the sun''s movement. "The Molten Salt Receiver (MSR) on top of the solar power tower is the core and the most important part of the CSP plant," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director
The 10-hour hot storage tank at the 110 MW Crescent Dunes CSP power tower plant in Nevada, the first full size Tower CSP plant to include storage. Typical commercial 100 MW CSP plants hold the hot molten salt at 600°C in a tank about this size to send the heat to boil water for steam to run the turbine in the thermal power block.

Abstract: The integration of thermal energy storage systems enables concentrating solar power (CSP) plants to provide dispatchable electricity. The adaptation of storage systems both to the solar energy receiver system and the power cycle of the plant is essential. Three different physical processes can be applied for energy storage:
Concentrated solar thermal power is worldwide becoming a more and more important source for power generation. The reasons for this are obvious: The sun is an inexhaustible source for power production. And it is not only a free fuel source but also a complete emissions-free source. Steam turbine generator sets convert solar energy into electricity.

CSP is used in utility-scale applications to help provide power to an electricity grid. They can be paired with energy storage technologies to store thermal energy to use when solar irradiance is low, like during the night or on a cloudy day. Today, roughly 1,815 megawatts (MW) of CSP plants operate in the United States.
