Concentrating Solar Power: Focusing the Sun's Energy with Mirrors to Produce Electricity [PDF]

, 2006
Key facts: - Concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies use mirrors to focus the sun's heat. This heat is used to boil water, and the resulting steam turns a turbine to generate electricity.

Study of the efficiency of the joint operation of a cogeneration steam turbine with a heat pump installation

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract In the source of heat energy for centralized heat supply systems, the joint production (cogeneration) of heat and electricity in one energy conversion unit is most often implemented. In most cases, the cogeneration technologies are based on steam turbine installations.
