Most concentrated solar power plants use the parabolic trough design, instead of the power tower or Fresnel systems. There have also been variations of parabolic trough systems like the integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) which combines troughs and conventional fossil fuel heat. . Concentrated solar power (CSP), also called concentrating solar power or concentrated solar thermal, involves systems that collect solar heat for multiple purposes like cooking, desalination, or the generation of electric solar power, by using mirrors to concentrate a large area of sunlight toward. . These systems provide large-scale power generation from the sun and, because of their proven performance, are gaining acceptance in the energy marketplace. Trough systems predominate among today s commercial solar power plants. All together, nine trough power plants, also called Solar Energy. . Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. The potential of this type of concentrating collectors is very high and can provide output fluid temperatures in the range up to 500°C. CSP technology utilizes focused sunlight. By efficiently transporting and storing massive amounts of thermal energy, these fluids enable the conversion of heat into the high-pressure. .
