A concentrating solar power system collects solar energy via transformative alloy particles, with energy collected in the particles concentrated onto an absorber. Particles absorb heat as they cascade within a solar concentrator. The absorbed optical energy provides a source of thermal energy to operate a power conversion cycle, for example a heat engine. The heat engine then produces electricity that is eventually fed into the electrical grid. Particles may be re-used multiple times to absorb heat. Chao Zhang czhang3@utep.edu 915-747-6717
