Heat Storage
Heat Storage. Heat storage refers to the ability of CSP power plants to store excess heat for later use, allowing for the generation of electricity on demand despite the fluctuating nature of solar energy resources. This storage capability enables the shifting of energy production to peak demand periods, increasing revenue potential.
