When combined with thermal storage capacity of several hours of full - capacity generation, CSP plants can continue to produce electricity even when clouds block the sun, or after sundown or in early morning when power demand steps up.

It is used in power generation, primarily for cooling thermal power plants; in the extraction, transport and processing of fuels; and, increasingly, in irrigation to grow biomass feedstock crops.

Receivers are the key components in solar thermal parabolic trough power plants, a future technology for centralized power generation along the Earth's sunbelt.

The supply is unreliable, although more consistent than wind generation which is notoriously unreliable and thermal, nuclear, or hydro power (if available) is required to carry sufficient reserve in the grid system to compensate for any changes in solar plant output due to any changes in sunlight during the day.

Albania is trying to increase its thermal generation capacity to cope with increased demand for electricity in the country, which has long depended almost solely on hydro plants for power generation.

A new paper from the World Resources Institute, Parched Power: Water Demands, Risks and Opportunities for India's Power Sector, analyzes all of India's 400 + thermal power plants and finds that India's power supply is increasingly in jeopardy due to water shortages, costing power generation and revenue.

Thermal power plants rely on water for cooling, which means droughts can push generation offline.

Source: CSP Focus: Abengoa has developed three solar thermal power plants for electricity generation in the north of the country.

If coal and lignite (as well as more expensive natural gas) prevail as next - generation heating fuels, then co-generation will be included into the new plants to increase overall revenues from the same thermal energy.
