Background Hawai‘i, like many other states, has an energy policy that calls for reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels by increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy resources. Despite innumerable plans and studies of energy options over the last three decades, Hawai’i’s dependence on imported fossil fuels has actually increased. This is partly [...]
Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems capture the sun’s heat and transform it into electricity. CSP plants have been on line in California since 1984 and are the least expensive technology for making solar electricity. Â Concentrating solar power plants produce electric power by converting the sun’s energy into high-temperature heat using various mirror configurations. The [...]
Solar One is concentrated solar power project in the Mojave Desert, California. This project was based on the solar power tower technology where reflective mirrors are placed in a field and track the sun, bouncing the sun energy into a central receiver point. These mirrors are known as a heliostat and the heat generated was [...]
