.... In typical concentrated solar power (CSP) thermal power plants, heat transfer fluid (HTF) is used to deliver the harvested insolation to thermal energy storage (TES) devices, which is then utilized to generate power using a thermodynamic cycle (e.g., using Rankine or Sterling cycle). Molten salts...
