Concentrated solar Thermal Concentrated Solar Thermal Power[(CSP(Th)]systems generate solar power by using mirrors or mirror reflective sheets to concentrate a large area of sunlight onto a small focus point where temperature is extremely high. Heat is collected at focus point is than transferred to the application area. This process is very different from Concentrated Solar Power systems where the heat collected is used to generate the electricity and use to run the electric appliances. Instead in Concentrated solar Thermal Power Systems heat can be directly used in the required system as process heat with far better efficiency as here no conversion of energy from one form to another form [heat into electricity] and hence lose of energy is minimized.

CSP[Th] is already being commercialized, more and more awareness is created on CSP[Th]. Here challenge is the size and shape (true parabola) of the concentrated dish. Bigger dish are closer to parabola but maintenance is the big factor. But still if we can use the sun energy [thermal] for general process heat that could save quantum of of energy required for the process.

Type of Concentrated Solar thermal Power Systems[CSP(Th)] There are mainly two type of Concentrated Solar Thermal System It is also called as Scheffler technology. Scheffler mirror is a fixed-focus solar reflector. The inventor Wolfgang Scheffler developed it further for the needs of economically poor, sun-rich countries. Sunlight is focused on a fixed point, and remains focused there by means of a simple automatic adjustment system even as the relative position of the sun changes during the day. Wolfgang Scheffler developed an intelligent clockwork adjustment mechanism: the mirror moves automatically to follow the course of the sun.The tracking mechanism of the Scheffler mirror means that a solar oven, for instance, can run throughout a sunny day without needing any manual adjustment, thus enabling the construction of solar kitchens.
 * 1) 1. Fixed focus

In this technology the heat transfer fluids move thermal energy from the solar receiver which is moving with the sun to the power block, where the heat is used for various process heat application including community cooking.
