The article describes about an alternative method of power supply for developing countries like Bangladesh. Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) power plant is that alternative method, where Sun is the source of fuel, and the thermal energy of the Sun is harnessed to produce electricity. We have analyzed all the technologies which are being used in the CST power plant worldwide currently, and based on that research we have decided Solar Tower technology is most suitable for our country. Solar tower technology uses thousands of mirrors to track the Sun all day long to reflect the Sun rays on a central tower receiver to raise the temperature of heat storing fluid. In this research, a prototype of solar tower CST power plant has been designed. It has been known to all that the Sun moves from East to West in the day time, so a single-axis tracking system is also necessary to extract as much power as possible from the Sun. Based on the world analysis of CST projects and the output of this research model it can be said that CST power plant can be constructed in Bangladesh to meet the huge energy demand and reach the goal of green energy.
