Zusammenfassung:	Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants utilize two-tank, sensible-heat thermal energy storage (TES) for uninterrupted electricity generation. However, the cost for the design and operation of TES is expensive. Therefore, the focus is on implementing single-tank storage. Additional cutbacks can be made by utilizing pump-less thermosyphon charging for the TES. Nevertheless, prior thermosyphon studies for TES are related to domestic water-heating systems of small-capacity (
