Solar energy cost analysis examines hardware and non-hardware (soft) manufacturing and installation costs, including the effect of policy and market impacts. Solar energy data analysis examines a wide range of issues such as solar adoption trends and the performance and reliability of solar energy generation facilities.
Studies have found that the solar field represents the highest cost of a solar thermal power plant , , . Ehtiwesh et al. observed that the solar field had the highest cost at $17,635/h, followed by the boiler at $2,526/h and then the condenser at $1104/h.
The performance and economic analysis carried out for the solar thermal power plants (PTCSTPP, PDCSSPP, and CTRSTPP) for the locations of Jodhpur and Delhi to explore the possibility of solar thermal power generation in India is presented here.
This paper investigated the economic impact of solar thermal power plants assessed in the literature. Several factors that impact on the economic performance of solar thermal power plants were identified including the type of solar thermal technology, DNI values, plant capacity, cooling method and the inclusion of thermal energy storage.
Studies have found that the size of a solar thermal power plant impacts on its capital cost; the bigger the plant capacity, the larger the plant cost , . The authors found that the SD plant had the lowest LCOE, followed by the PT plant, the LFR and then the ST plant.
Systematic literature review using Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus and IEEE Xplore databases was conducted to identify studies that performed economic assessments of solar thermal power plants including integrated solar combined cycle power plants and hybrid solar thermal plants.
