Abstract: To reduce the cost of power generation from CSP technologies, over 1000 articles have been published in the last five years, and it is necessary to observe the overall research and technological advancements in this sector which is missing in the current literature. To bridge this gap, this work presents a comprehensive review on …
Zimbabwe could become a net exporter of power within the SADC region should the country harness the concentrated solar power potential of 39,5 gigawatts (GW), which far exceeds the country’s needs. The region is currently facing a power deficit, largely due to changes in hydrology issues, which have not spared Zimbabwe’s Kariba South Power …
