h the support fromepartment of Energy, the companies try to come up with a design for plants with flexibility of the e sizes fW by replicating the basic module without a redesign. Each module uses hexagonal heliostat field to reflect sunlight to the salt-in ye -tube exte tye ernal thermal e receiver on top of the tower at the c enter. With many modules working together, the receivercold salt input and return hot sa lt to c ye entrally located storage. The hot salt will then be used in the generator system to generate electric ity.
