Toolbox: methodology for integrated Concentrated Solar Power small scale plants.

This toolbox includes the basic components for the construction of CS multi-generative power plants in the Mediterranean solar belt and, in particular, of small/medium size systems to be integrated in public buildings in rural and coastal communities. The goal is to combine and optimize innovative subsystems for the efficient capture of solar energy to generate electricity, produce heat and cold, drive thermal processes such as desalination or sterilization, alone or in combination with backups (e.g. gas or biomass).
