TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive summary of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants both in operation and under construction, covering the available technologies for the receiver, thermal storage, power block and heat transfer fluid.

TL;DR: A detailed review of shell materials that have the potential to be used for high temperature thermal energy storage (TES) applications, particularly in conjunction with concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, is presented in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, the eutectic Na2SO4-NaCl was investigated as a novel high temperature phase change material for solar thermal energy storage due to its low cost and melting point.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the economic and environmental impact of thermal energy storage (TES) options for concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, including an encapsulated phase change material (PCM) system, a coil-in-tank PCM system, and a liquid sodium TES system.

TL;DR: In this article, the state of the selection process for these eutectics is discussed and various methods to predict the important thermophysical properties are reported and applied to EHs whose physical properties are known.
