In the proposed system, the required power for cascade power cycles is provided by PTC and TEGs are used to produce additional electrical power from rejected heat.
Trough tower dish solar power generation

There are 3 common commercial forms of CSP technologies, parabolic trough, dish Stirling and solar power tower, each with their advantages and disadvantages with
Concentrated Solar Power | Power Tower Systems

There are three main types of concentrating solar power systems: power tower, parabolic-trough, and dish/engine. A power tower system (see lead image) uses a large field of mirrors to concentrate
HelioCon -Background on Concentrating Solar Power

The power tower design consists of a large field of multifaceted mirrors (heliostats) that reflect the sunlight on to a central tower receiver that collects the radiation and stored the thermal energy.
How CSP Works: Tower, Trough, Fresnel or Dish

There are four types of CSP technologies: The earliest in use was trough, and the predominant technology now is tower. This is because tower CSP can attain higher temperatures, resulting in
Comparison between tower type, trough type, Fresnel type and dish

The trough-type solar thermal power generation system has a simple structure and relatively mature technology, which can realize a large-scale thermal power generation system, but
3.2 Concentrating Solar Power

The long-term goal of the CSP Subprogram is to develop parabolic trough and dish/Stirling power plant technologies that produce electricity that is competitive with electricity from conventional fossil power
Concentrating Solar Power – SEIA

The steam drives a conventional steam turbine power system to generate electricity. A typical solar collector field contains hundreds of parallel rows of troughs connected as a series of loops, which are
Concentrating Solar Power

Parabolic Dish or dish engine uses mirrors shaped as a dish to concentrate and focus the sun''s rays onto a receiver, which is mounted above the dish at the dish center.
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Technology

A brief video showing how concentrating solar power works (using a parabolic trough system as an example) is available from the Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Web site.
