2015. Recently solar energy receives a great attention as an important source of renewable energy. Solar energy is converted to electrical energy directly through photovoltaic (PV) or indirectly through concentrated solar power (CSP) system which converts solar energy to heat energy which in turn can be used by thermal power station to generate electricity.
Combining solar-thermal power with fossil fuel generation can increase the capacity factor of the solar applications 33. Rankine, Brayton, and combined cycle power generation schemes have been proposed in this context. Other studies estimate that the price of CSP could decrease to $0.05/kWh by 2025 35, which would be highly competitive.
