What is Large-scale Solar Thermal Power : Technologies, Costs and Development about?

This important contribution to the issue of renewable energy describes the technical and economical requirements of mass-produced solar thermal power plants, from the different types of power plants to the development needs and a massive development program. The authors - renowned and experienced experts in the field - show that solar thermal power plants, because of their simple technology, are easy to build with high production rates and therefore can play a substantial role in the rapid substitution of fossil fuels. On the basis of solar thermal power (using long distance transmission) and coal from substituted coal plants, a future energy system is described supplying gas and liquid fuels. This is the first discussion of a complete concept, of a crash-strategy, for the partial replacement of oil and natural gas.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–5): Chapter 2 The Salient Facts (pages 7–50): Chapter 3 Solar Technologies – An Overview (pages 51–70): Chapter 4 Some Additional Economic Factors (pages 71–139): Chapter 5 The Potential of Solar Thermal Power Plants for the Energy Supply: Capacity Factor, Availability of Solar Energy, and Land Availability (pages 141–180): Chapte
