  2. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    As a thermal energy generating power station, CSP has more in common with thermal power stations such as coal, gas, or geothermal. A CSP plant can incorporate thermal energy storage, which stores energy either in the form of sensible heat or as latent heat (for example, using molten salt), which enables these plants to continue supplying electricity whenever it is needed, day or night.

  3. Dishwasher detergent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishwasher_detergent

    Different kinds of dishwashing detergent contain different combinations of ingredients. Common ingredients include: Phosphates: Bind calcium and magnesium ions to prevent 'hard-water' type limescale deposits. They can cause ecological damage, and have been partially banned or phased out.

  4. Dishwashing liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishwashing_liquid

    Dishwashing liquid (washing-up liquid in British English), also known as dishwashing soap, dish detergent, or dish soap, is a detergent used in dishwashing. Dishwashing detergent for dishwashers comes in various forms such as cartridges, gels, liquids, packs, powder, and tablets. [ 1 ]

  5. Does Concentrated Solar Pose a Threat?

    www.aol.com/.../30/the-threat-of-concentrated-solar

    Concentrated solar power, or CSP, usually uses a system of reflectors to heat up a liquid, and then drive a turbine. The system relies on simple physics and offers one big benefit that ...

  6. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

    High concentration photovoltaics (HCPV) systems employ concentrating optics consisting of dish reflectors or Fresnel lenses that concentrate sunlight to intensities of 1,000 suns or more. [30] The solar cells require high-capacity heat sinks to prevent thermal destruction and to manage temperature related electrical performance and life ...

  7. List of concentrating solar thermal power companies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concentrating...

    This is a list of concentrating solar thermal power (CSTP) companies. The CSTP industry finished a first round of new construction during 2006/7, a resurgence after more than 15 years of commercial dormancy. [1] The CSTP industry saw many new entrants and new manufacturing facilities in 2008.

  8. Particle receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_receiver

    A particle receiver is an object placed on the top of a solar tower on which surface solar energy is concentrated by means of a solar field composed of large number of mirrors, called heliostats. The goal is to transform solar energy into thermal energy that can be used in a heat process, thermochemical process, or in a heat engine to produce ...

  9. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    Solar parabolic dish. With a parabolic dish collector, one or more parabolic dishes concentrate solar energy at a single focal point, similar to the way a reflecting telescope focuses starlight, or a dish antenna focuses radio waves. This geometry may be used in solar furnaces and solar power plants.
