The energy demand is on the rise with an urgent need to tap the abundant renewable energy sources in the region. This is essential for the future development of the Middle-East region as it reduces the dependency on fossil fuels and eliminates the problems associated with air pollution and greenhouse gases. Energy price of PV plant is less as compared to CSP plants. Whereas, CSP systems with thermal Energy storage capabilities can be effectively used to overcome intermittency issues of PV systems to balance demand with the supply of Electric power within safe levels of reliability by optimizing the Energy produced. The performance of the proposed CSP plant is further optimized by varying the solar multiple and full load hours of TES. The proposed parabolic trough based CSP plant with thermal energy storage is found to be feasible compare to solar PV system. The working of CSP plant and its components is described in this paper. Finally the modelling of CSP plant is carried out using Matlab Simulink.
