Abstract¬-----The profusion of solar energy has urged mankind to use it as a substitute for many widespread sources of energy. One of the most generalized ways of utilizing solar energy is by harnessing the solar heat instead of obtaining it from fossil fuels. Solar energy concentration technology using LFS (Linear Fresnel system) is an effective way of utilizing solar energy. This paper has focused on the principle, components and applications of the linear Fresnel system. It mainly describes on the molten salt system. (MSS) Molten salt system is used to increase the efficiency of the thermal power plant by exchanging its heat with the preheater in the boiler. The use of molten salt represents the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective form of large scale energy storage system.
Key Words:-Linear Fresnel System(LFS), Concentrated Solar Power(CSP) , Molten Salt System(MSS)

I. INTRODUCTION
There is a current global need for clean and renewable energy sources. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and require finite resources, which are dwindling because of high cost and environmentally damaging retrieval techniques. So, the need for inexpensive and easily available resources is greatly needed. An efficient and …show more content…

Conventional linear Fresnel reflector system only contains one-dimension movement that is flat mirror rotation, and the addition movement in new design includes translating mirror field to decrease cosine effect and rotating the secondary reflector to coordinate the translation of mirror field. Based on the theoretical design, the optical simulation has been done, and some motile laws and geometric relationship have been included. The laws would be helpful for advance research and to develop the tracking device fit for the system combined
