1. A concentrated solar power storage system comprising:
a heat collecting unit configured to gather a solar thermal energy;
a container configured to store water and convert the water into steam by the solar thermal energy;
a valve configured to determine a flow direction of the steam;
a heavy body configured to generate a force through the valve;
a capsule for accommodating a gas;
a generator;
a fluid storage tank;
a first fluid pipe for accommodating a fluid, the first fluid pipe being connected to the capsule, the generator, and the fluid storage tank, wherein the first fluid pipe is coupled with the capsule in parallel such that the fluid moving through the first fluid pipe is able to bypass the capsule; and
a second fluid pipe connected to the heavy body and the fluid storage tank,
wherein the force is configured to push the fluid located in the first fluid pipe to compress the gas;
wherein the generator is configured to generate electricity by using the compressed gas to push the fluid located in the first fluid pipe;
wherein the fluid storage tank is configured to receive the fluid acting on the generator; and
wherein the fluid located in the first fluid pipe is configured to push the generator until gas pressure in the capsule is reduced to a predetermined level when the fluid no longer acts on the generator.
