Listed below are the major steps followed and the costs involved in setting up Concentrated Solar Thermal plant however the steps and the method of setting a CSP plant may vary across regions, based on the different local conditions such as administration, legislations , guidelines and other factors. COSTS TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS CAPITAL COSTS (USD/KW) TYPICAL ENERGY COSTS (LCOE-US cents/Kwh 1 ) Concentrating Solar Thermal power (CSP) Types: parabolic trough, tower, dish Plant size: 50-250 MW (trough) 20-250 MW (tower) 10-100 MW (Fresnel) Capacity factor: 20-35% (no storage) 35-80% (with storage) Trough, no storage: 5000-7000 (OECD) 3100-4050 (non-OECD) Trough, 6 hours storage: 6000-8000 Tower: 6000 (United States. Without storage); 9000 (United States, with storage) Trough and Fresnel: 19–38 (no storage); 17–37 (6 hours storage Tower: 12.5–16.4 (United States; high end of range is with storage) Source: Renewables 2015, Global Status Report The owner needs to identify the purpose of setting a CSP plant by conducting a need assessment wherein the place of setup should also be identified. This step involves creating a feasibility report for the project. STEP 2 STEP 1 Installer firstly should have knowledge about solar energy and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). All about Solar Energy Case studies Status of solar thermal technology in India How to set up a Concentrated Solar Thermal Plant What is Solar Energy? Scope of the project
