The construction of solar thermal power plants can be the key to balancing socio-economic development and environmental responsibility. Thanks to government assistance in the form of high tariffs for electricity generated and tax deductions, STPPs have become profitable systems that guarantee an acceptable level of profitability for investors.
Photovoltaics (PV) and wind are the most renewable energy technologies utilized to convert both solar energy and wind into electricity for several applications such as residential [8, 9], greenhouse buildings [10], agriculture [11], and water desalination [12].However, these energy sources are variable, which leads to huge intermittence and fluctuation in power
Based on the recent report by IEA, the roadmap of the CSP concluded the following: it is expected by 2050, with suitable governmental support, CSP could generate 11.3% of global electricity demand, with 9.6% from solar energy and 1.7% from backup fossil or biomass fuels. Further, all CSPs have the chance to apply thermal storage.
