IEC？TS？62862-1-1:20 18(E)包含太阳能热电(STE)行业使用的主要术语和定义，旨在作为行业文档用户的参考。由于STE设备的组件和配置取决于所使用的聚光太阳能热技术（即中央接收器、抛物面槽收集器、抛物面碟形或线性菲涅耳聚光器），一些术语并不适用于所有类型的STE设备，为了澄清，在其定义中引入了注释。

IEC？TS？62862-1-1:2018(E) contains the main terms and definitions used by the solar thermal electric (STE) industry and intends to be a reference for users of industry documents. Since the components and configurations of STE plants depend on the concentrating solar thermal technology used (i.e., central receiver, parabolic-trough collector, parabolic-dish or linear Fresnel concentrator), some terms are not applicable to all types of STE plants and notes have been introduced in their definitions for clarification.
