Electric Heat Tracing Solutions for Concentrated Solar Power System is a integrated system for heat trace solution ot the Concentrated Solar Power plant for maintaining a certain temperature for the heat storage media such as molten salt, conduction oil, water etc and its supporting facilities. The heating elements can be mineral insulated cable, self-regulating cable, constant power cable etc.

Although CSP makes solar electricity by harvesting sunlight like PV, it operates more like a conventional power plant. Once the sunlight is collected as heat, the “back end” – the power block – works the same as any other thermal energy power station.

Coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants all operate on thermal energy, but must burn a fuel to make electricity.

CSP also runs on thermal energy. But instead of having to burn a fuel to generate the next few hours of electricity, CSP can harvest a pretty much endless supply of sunlight to store and deliver solar thermal energy. In contrast with a finite fuel like gas or coal or uranium that must be dug up from below the earth to use up by burning it to make electricity – this sunlight will be available above the earth for centuries.

Because of its ability to store solar energy thermally, CSP can deliver power on demand (so it’s dispatchable), and it can be made available whenever it’s wanted. In other words, CSP is solar power that can be switched on when needed — in the evening, before sunrise, or at whatever time the regional grid needs power.

A solar thermal power plant can respond to new demand within the same day. The speed of start-up is limited only by the time it takes to start the turbines, just as it does with other thermal power stations, about 20 minutes.

This power block technology and the ability to store its solar energy thermally makes CSP a disruptive renewable technology. It can make the energy grid cleaner because it can actively replace fossil energy. Together with the other renewables, CSP plays a role in a cleaner new grid. So CSP does not compete with PV. It competes with natural gas.
