Thermal oils are hydrocarbon-based liquids used as heat transfer fluids (HTFs) in concentrating solar power (CSP) applications. Synthetic oils are prevalent in linear focusing CSP systems, while oil, water, or molten salts can be used in Parabolic Trough and Linear Fresnel.
Although at present solar towers produce electricity that costs more than electrical power made with fossil fuels due mainly to it being a relatively new technology, solar towers have the potential to achieve higher efficiencies, up to 20% and can be easily expanded by the addition.
Some power towers use water/steam as the heat-transfer fluid. Other advanced designs are experimenting with high temperature molten salts or sand-like particles to maximize the power cycle temperature.
This review comprehensively examines the latest advancements in TES mechanisms, materials, and structural designs, including sensible heat, latent heat, and thermochemical storage systems.
