Solar storm as desert plan to power Europe falters
18 November 2012 Last updated at 22:34 ET By Matt McGrath Science reporter, BBC World Service Desertec had ambitious plans to deliver electricity from renewable sources to Europe via undersea cables An ambitious plan to provide 15% of Europe's power needs from solar plants in North Africa has run into trouble. The Desertec initiative hoped to deliver electricity from a network of renewable energy sources to Europe via cables under the sea.

Photovoltaics
Photovoltaic SUDI shade is an autonomous and mobile station in France that replenishes energy for electric vehicles using solar energy.
Are Solar Thermal Power Plants Doomed?
Solar thermal power plants --which produce power from the heat of the sun--remain one of our favorite renewable energy technologies, but it might be in serious trouble. And this time the culprit is not cheap natural gas, the Koch Brothers, or the desert tortoise advocates. This time, the adversary is the other half of the solar family.
The Market for Concentrated Solar Power is Hot and Getting Hotter
BOSTON--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Despite competitive photovoltaic prices and lingering environmental and financing concerns, concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies are poised for gigawatt-scale adoption in 2011; and future growth will remain healthy as the generation stack increasingly incorporates CSP plants in excess of 100 MW.CSP vs PV solar thermal gaining on photovoltaics - ElectroIQ
February 2, 2011 - BUSINESS WIRE -- Despite competitive photovoltaic (PV) prices and lingering environmental and financing concerns, concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies are poised for gigawatt-scale adoption in 2011. Future growth will remain healthy as the generation stack increasingly incorporates CSP plants in excess of 100MW. To land their share of this emerging market, utilities and developers will need a clear grasp of the economic and performance factors driving adoption of CSP's four main technologies, according to a new report from Lux Research.
The Rise of Concentrating Solar Thermal Power
You can say those three hurdles will always remain and not just for CSP, which uses reflectors to concentrate and beam sunlight toward a receiver for producing steam, which then goes to powering turbine-generators for producing electricity.
Concentrated solar power
Concentrated solar power (also called concentrating solar power , concentrated solar thermal , and CSP ) systems use mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy , onto a small area. Electrical power is produced when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine ) connected to an electrical power generator. CSP is being widely commercialized and the CSP market has seen about 740 MW of generating capacity added between 2007 and the end of 2010. More than half of this (about 478 MW) was installed during 2010, bringing the global total to 1095 MW.
