Abstract:
CONCENTRATED POWER PROJECT is an integrated electricity generation system which pools together concentrated solar power with biogas and natural gas in order to meet the energy requirements especially in the coastal cities. India has 211 GW of installed electricity capacity, mostly in coal-powered plants. Because of insufficient fuel supply, the country suffers from a severe shortage of electricity generation, leading to rolling blackouts. Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems use mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, on to a small area. In this method, biogas and natural gas are used along with CSP in order to compensate these drawbacks. Since these projects are to be established on coastal cities, domestic and some part of industrial waste from these cities will suffice as feed for the biogas plant and hence result in proper waste disposal. Coastal areas being the prime location for natural gas extraction, the cost of transportation reduces by manifolds.
