dc.description.abstractThis review examines the advancements in concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, focusing on their potential to meet energy demands sustainably while mitigating global warming. CSP systems, which harness solar energy through mirrors and lenses to generate high-temperature heat, offer a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. Key CSP technologies include Linear Fresnel Reflectors, Parabolic Dishes, Solar Towers, and Parabolic Trough Collectors (PTCs). Each system is assessed for its design, efficiency, and suitability in regions with high direct solar irradiance. Among these, PTCs are highlighted for their cost-effectiveness and thermal efficiency, with applications reaching temperatures up to 550°C, making them suitable for both small and large-scale implementations. The review also explores various heat transfer enhancement techniques, categorized into active, passive, and compound methods. Passive techniques, such as inserts, surface modifications, and nanofluids, are examined for their ability to increase heat transfer efficiency without external energy sources. Active methods like pumps, fans, and compound approaches are discussed for maximizing thermal performance. Advances in receiver design, including twisted tapes, wire coils, fins, and porous materials, are evaluated for their impact on heat transfer rates, thermal losses, and overall system efficiency. Additionally, the potential of nanofluids to improve thermal conductivity is explored. This comprehensive review underscores the importance of optimizing CSP systems to maximize efficiency, offering insights into innovations that could further enhance the adoption of solar thermal energy worldwide.
