Jetstream - Power Towe Technology
From Concentrating Solar Energy
Power Tower utilizes a large number of heliostats (flat mirrors) that are computer controlled to focus on a centralized receiver at the top of a high tower. High operating temperatures heat transfer fluids, which creates steam when contacting water and runs a central steam generator. While effective, these systems are very expensive and complex. Additionally, some of them require prodigious amounts of water due to the use of steam powered electric generators. This is obviously a serious problem in water-deprived areas, (such as those that offer the greatest amount of sunlight).
