CENTRAL RECEIVER
•Central receiver (or power tower) systems use a field of
distributed mirrors – heliostats – that individually track the
sun and focus the sunlight on the top of a tower.
•By concentrating the sunlight 600–1000 times, they
achieve temperatures from 800°C to well over 1000°C.
•Receiver panel has fluid which collects heat.

STEAM GENERATOR OR TURBINE
•Siemens steam turbines can be operated in plants
with all current heat transfer mediums like air,
water/direct
steam and molten salt.

CONCLUSION
It is very efficiency system can be increased by
hybridizing it with the other conventional plants.
Very economy excluding initial cost.
Non pollutant power technology
Can be implemented with alternative like WIND and
HYDRO power generation
