The growing demand for efficient and sustainable energy solutions underscores the importance of advancing solar technologies, particularly Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems. This review presents a structured evaluation two key innovation domains in CSP: application nanofluids adoption Industry 4.0 technologies. first part analyzes experimental simulation-based studies on nanofluid-enhanced CSP systems, covering four major collector types—parabolic trough, power tower, dish, Fresnel reflectors. Nanofluids have been shown to significantly enhance thermal efficiency, with hybrid formulations offering greatest improvements. second examines role technologies—including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), digital twins (DT)—in improving system monitoring, performance prediction, operational reliability. Although few recent explore combined use tools most research addresses these areas independently. identifies this lack integration as gap current literature. By presenting separate yet complementary analyses, study offers comprehensive overview emerging pathways optimization. Key challenges future directions are highlighted, nanofluid stability, cost-efficiency, implementation at scale.
