The IEA/SSPS Solar Thermal Power Plants — Facts and Figures— Final Report of the International Test and Evaluation Team (ITET) Volume 4: Book of Summaries

The Project's origin As a consequence of the so-called "first oil crisis", the interest in solar electricity generation rose sharply after 1973. The solar ther­ mal way of solving the problem was attractive because the main task was simply to replace the fossil fuel by a "solar f...
