Solar thermal power plant

Solar thermal power plants are electricity generation plants that utilize energy from the Sun to heat a fluid to a high temperature.This fluid then transfers its heat to water, which then becomes superheated steam.This steam is then used to turn turbines in a power plant, and this mechanical energy is converted into electricity by a generator.This type …
