2007 Solar Power Tower, Dish Stirling and Linear Fresnel Technologies Workshop
NREL hosted a concentrating solar power (CSP) technology workshop on March 7, 2007, in Golden, Colorado. It provided:
- An opportunity for industries developing solar power tower, dish Stirling, and linear Fresnel technologies to update attendees on the current status of their technologies
- Input to the U.S. Department of Energy on recommended R&D program directions.
The workshop featured panel discussions and presentations on the following concentrating solar power technologies:
Parabolic trough technology was covered in a separate workshop on March 8-9, 2007.
Note: if a presentation isn't listed below, NREL hasn't received permission to post it.
