Engineering with Rosie - Solar Power at Night using Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) 30032023

Concentrated solar power (CSP) uses mirrors (heliostats) to focus sunlight to heat up a solar receiver and heat fluid (usually molten salt storage) that can be stored for later. It has been around for literally thousands of years, but is still a hot new technology for the energy transition. In this video, Rosie talks about how CSP works and the different technology options: power tower, parabolic trough, Fresnel reflector and dish.
