Abstract. The use of mirrors and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) allows us to harness the energy for our own use. In 2032, the development of CSP is predicted to increase by 34%. Focusing the sun''s heat onto a receiver, CSP systems convert it into heat. The steam is then used to power a turbine that generates energy.

A close-loop CaLP-TCES process for solar energy storage was investigated. • Na 2 CO 3 doubled the energy storage capacity of the CaO-based materials. "850 C–900 C" was best for the Na 2 CO 3 doped CaO in the CaLP-TCES system. Improved CO 2 diffusion leads to the higher energy storage density of the Na + doped materials.
In comparison with the popular electrical energy storage technologies, CSP is able to overcome its major limitations, e.g., battery electric storage presents high environmental impact [29], recyclability issues, limited lifetime [30]
One of the benefits of CST is that the captured heat can be stored cost-effectively for long periods with little loss of energy. This means that CST can be used to generate electricity or provide heat when the sun isn''t shining. Globally, most CST plants used for electricity production incorporate 3-15 hours of thermal energy storage.
Since latent heat storage requires so little space while storing so much energy, it can cost-effectively compete with other energy storage methods. A growing interest in thermochemical heat storage is seen in recent assessments of low to medium-temperature (300°C) thermochemical processes and chemical heat pump systems [ 141,
