A solar tower system involves a large heliostat field with a single receiver mounted on a tall tower positioned at its centre (Fig. 12.2).The working substances used in the receiver can include water/steam, molten salts, liquid sodium, and air. Its concentration ratio is usually in the range of 150–1500 and the operating temperature is about 300–2000°C.
Storage technology based on solid media heated in direct contact—so-called regenerators—is well suited to promote the market introduction of solar central receiver plants with air receivers.

A solar tower, also known as a solar power tower, is a way to concentrate solar power to make it a more powerful energy source. Solar towers are sometimes also called heliostat power plants because they use a collection of movable mirrors (heliostats) laid out in a field to gather and focus the sun at the tower.
Solar power tower is composed of several heliostats, tower with top situated receiver with the working fluid and the generator of the electrical energy. Heliostats are composed of several flat mirrors that focus concentrated sun irradiation onto the receiver. Each heliostat has its own mechanism for Sun tracking along two axis.
Solar tower power plants mainly include a heliostat, a receiver tower, a receiver, thermal storage, and a generator unit.
There is no definite cost for solar tower power plants as the overall cost of the setup greatly depends on its components. Type of Mirror used: Solar tower power plants may use flat mirrors or curved mirrors. Although both mirrors have equal efficiency, most systems use flat mirrors.
Solar tower power plants are large-scale solar energy generation setups that use mirrors called heliostats to capture sunlight. Since solar towers rely entirely on sunlight, they are one of the most sustainable and greenest options for energy generation. However, you may be thinking, can they work in the absence of sunlight? The answer is yes!
