Concentrated solar power (CSP), or solar thermal power, is an ideal technology to hybridize
with other energy technologies for power generation. CSP shares technology with …

This paper reviews the hybrid power generation technologies of concentrated solar power
(CSP) and other renewable and non-renewable resources such as biomass, wind …

Previously, a set of optimistic studies have been published to show the efficiency of
chemically recuperated gas turbines (CRGT) based on steam methane reforming. The …

The arriving optimum improvement of a thermodynamic system of energy conversion such
as a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is complicated due to the existence of different …

Several factors such as climate change, increment in fuel cost and digital technology era
have lead to transformation of conventional grid into smart grid. Existing microgrid can be …

A detailed review and thermal performance comparison of fifteen power generation
technologies including fossil, solar and hybrid options has been presented. The modeling of …

An innovative design for Solar Preheating Hybrid Gas Turbine (SPHGT) is originally
introduced in this article. In the proposed concept, solar energy collected by a HTF solar field …

In this study, a new hybrid solar preheating intercooled gas turbine (SP-IcGT), is presented,
in which a parabolic trough solar technology is used to preheat the compressed air before …

Literature shows that using medium-temperature solar collectors, such as parabolic trough
collectors (PTCs), to heat the gas turbine's compressed air before it enters the combustion …

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of advanced gas-turbine cycles. Specifically, three
cycles are investigated, that is the intercooled, the reheat, and the intercooled and reheat …
