Throughout comparing to limited in time fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, solar energy is observed to be extremely appealing as a renewable energy source in the twenty-first century due to its unending supply and nonpolluting nature. Concentrating Solar Power is a type of renewable energy that uses the sun's energy to generate electricity and heat. CSP plants can be used for desalination and solar fuel production. Work more productively make up the majority of the applications. Solar Thermal Power Plants (STPPs) are large-scale renewable energy infrastructures that use heat generated by contracted solar beams. The main goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive literature review on central solar receivers, as well as to investigate terms like solar thermal energy and concentrated solar plants.

“…The steam generating subsystem, which consists of heat exchangers, transmits the thermal energy from the heated HTF to the water. Water is heated from a subcooled liquid to superheated steam, then fed into a steam turbine to generate power [11]. The solar receiver on top of the tower act as a solar radiation absorber [13].…”

“…The solar receiver on top of the tower act as a solar radiation absorber [13]. Authors of [11] stated that there are two types of receivers existing in solar tower plants, External and cavity receivers, Tubular receivers (usually formed by vertical pipes meeting the concentrated solar flux from the heliostats) working both with gas or liquid are the most common type of CSP receiver due to their simple fabrication, where incident energy is received and transferred through tubes to HTF [11,13].…”

“…The power cycle efficiency was 39 % with a turbine inlet temperature of 540 °C. Authors of [11] stated that the sCO 2 Brayton cycle could be used at temperatures higher than those that a Rankine cycle can handle. In addition to that sCO 2 Brayton cycle uses smaller turbo machinery and may achieve high efficiency with straightforward cycle configurations due to the higher density of sCO 2 , and it could potentially achieve 50 % efficiency if the turbine inlet temperatures were to be raised to 700 °C.…”

The object of research is distinguishing the different heat transfer fluids (HTF) in concentrating solar power (CSP). CSP technologies are gaining more attention these years due to the fact that the world is facing significant problems, especially concerning environmental issues and the increasing electricity demand. The world countries are currently committed to mitigating climate change and limiting greenhouse gas emissions to keep the global temperature rising below 2 °C. As a result, renewable energy sources are required for power generation. One of the most widely used technologies is the solar tower, where mirrors reflect solar radiation into a central receiver on top of a tower that contains a working fluid known as heat transfer fluid. The HTF is one of the most important components in solar power tower plants used to transfer and store thermal energy to generate electricity. This study focuses on the HTF used in solar power towers and how it can affect the efficiency of the plant. The HTF discussed in this study are air, water/steam, molten salts, liquid sodium, and supercritical CO2. Among the review of HTFs in the solar tower system, the result of the research shows that the Air can reach the highest temperature while liquid sodium achieves the highest overall plant efficiency.
