Site location and techno-economic analysis of utility-scale concentrating solar power plants in South Africa

Site location and techno-economic analysis of utility-scale concentrating solar power plants in South Africa

This dissertation comprises a two-part study concerned with the identification and quantification of potential Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) sites in South Africa; and the performance and cost modelling, optimisation and analysis of two CSP technologies in three locations. A further theme of the s...
