在过去25年中，许多集中太阳能发电（CSP）设施已成功投入商业运营。最近，政府的激励措施和降低成本的进展让许多新参与者进入了这个领域。CSP的加速部署目前正在全球范围内进行。CSP中许多正在开发的技术具有不同于现有锅炉和压力容器规范处理的故障模式和影响。本研究是一项差距分析，旨在确定新兴CSP技术的安全监管需求与现有ASME锅炉及压力容器规范（BPV）之间的差异。 研究了六种领先的CSP技术。识别这些系统的安全相关故障模式，并与现有规范规则进行比较，以识别代码覆盖率方面的差距。提出了消除这些差距的行动建议。

Numerous concentrated solar power (CSP) facilities have been in successful commercial operation for the past 25 years. Recently, government incentives and advances in cost reduction have brought many new players into the field. An accelerated deployment of CSP is currently being seen worldwide. Many of the developing technologies in CSP have failure modes and effects different from those treated by existing boiler and pressure vessel codes. This study is a gap analysis to identify differences between the safety regulation needs of emerging CSP technologies and existing ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel codes (BPV). Six leading CSP technologies are examined. The safety related failure modes of these systems are identified and compared with existing Code rules to identify gaps in code coverage. Recommendations for actions to close these gaps are proposed.
