Introduction to concentrating solar power technology

The term ''concentrating solar power'' is often used synonymously with ''concentrating solar thermal power'' or alternatively ''solar thermal electricity'' (STE). In this book, the term is used in a more general sense to include both concentrating solar thermal (CST) and concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) energy conversion.
