consider adding CSP
I was writing a review about CSP that might help.
Two main technologies exist 1) solar power tower and 2) parabolic trough. They have three components in common: mirrors field, receiver, storage (optional) and power block. Depending on the heat transfer fluid their design can change dramatically. I guess including this technology can not only help to add new capacity potentials but also help to guide the CSP design.
Adding CSP requires:
- time-series of direct radiations potenials
- updating/adding component details of solar power towers and parabolic troughs
- Adding technology details as "links" (for flexible component sizing?)
Further, I might be able to provide contacts to STERG and Frauenhofer Chile, both having experts in CSP technology.
