Solar Thermal Power Generation | SpringerLink

The limitation of solar power generation technologies is the diurnal (day and night) and intermittent (hourly, daily, and seasonal) nature of solar radiation. Hence, dispatchability of the solar power generation is poor. Here, dispatchability is the ability of a power generating system to provide the required amount of power on demand regardless of the time
