Why can't we use giant magnifying glasses to magnify the sun's rays and heat water to make electricity? - solar heating for kids
When I was a child, uses a magnifying glass to burn paper. Instead of photovoltaics, the lens has not let much water to boil and turn the turbines that nourished our coal-fired power plants do today?

In these systems, we have clear skies with no clouds and no wind. From 24 hours per day.
Scattered clouds is maximum power and zero-wind-speed to avoid damage to the glass surface, giving the sun are concentrated in one place ..
Therefore, it is not commercially viable, at least on Earth.
It was an experiment to do just that at Kirtland Air Force Base, except that it converges an array of applications, led mirror the sunlight on the boiler. It is possible yet, but I do not know whether it is active.
In theory it could work. Mirrors would take much, much easier to bet, but.
There are solar cookers do in the world, not to speak to the extent on you. It would be a place I used to imagine this scenario, even if for the first time at the end.
It is not practical for magnifying glasses, because the size and weight of glass lenses is important if they do not support their own weight, has been deformed under its own weight. The images of the mirror, but very good for those on a smaller scale than what you describe.
we
several factories
parabolic extend SO
Focus on the oil pipelines
hot oil is pumped to the heat exchanger to generate steam
regular end of the main steam turbine.
now only large-scale
