Critical factors driving corrosion in CSP systems
Concentrated solar power plants - The challenges of corrosion

Corrosion is recognised as a potential factor that could help reduce costs in CSP plants if effective prevention methods are found. Both currently used HTFs and storage materials, as well as newly researched storage materials, may be corrosive . In addition to the HTF, other factors such as design, operational conditions, and the chemical composition of the environment also play a significant role in the corrosion of materials in CSP systems.
