A solar power tower, also known as 'central tower' power plant or ' heliostat ' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun's rays upon a collector tower (the target). A heat-transfer fluid heated in the receiver is used to heat a working fluid, which, in turn, is used in a conventional. . A solar power tower is a system that converts energy from the Sun - in the form of sunlight - into electricity that can be used by people by using a large scale solar setup. They concentrate solar radiation from a huge area into a very small space on top of a tower.
