INTRODUCTION
Energy:
•Energy is the basic requirement for economic development.
•There has been an enormous increase in the global demand for
energy in recent years as a result of industrial development and
population growth.
• Since the early 2000s the demand for energy was from liquid fuels.
Limits on the rate of fuel production has created such a bottleneck
leading to the current energy crisis.
•Today, there is a huge energy crisis in India as power generation
does not meet the power requirement.
Per capita energy consumption scenario [1]
Per capita consumption of energy in India is one of the lowest in the world
.Needs of Renewable Energy• May fulfill the gap of energy demand and supply.
• Environment friendly.
• Reduce the dependability on fossil fuels.
• Better energy resources for isolated areas.
• Fossil fuels are finite resources.
• Fossil fuel contribute to climate change.
Sources of Renewable Energy
Classification of solar power generation
Solar Photovoltaic
Photovoltaic (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect.
Solar Photovoltaic Electricity Generation
SOLAR THERMAL
• In solar thermal energy from the sun is collected at collector and converted it into heat.
This heat can be used in -
• conventional power plant
• water heating
• air heating
• hydrogen production
Solar Thermal Power Plant• In solar thermal plant thermal energy obtained from
sun radiation is converted into electricity by using conventional power cycle.

Factors Affecting Performance of Solar Thermal Power Plant
• Variations in solar radiation
• Characteristics of solar collectors
• Geometrical factors such as shadows, length of collector, orientation etc
• Losses due to convection, conduction and radiation
• Losses in heat exchanger
• Change of phase of circulating fluid in power block
• Velocity of cloud
• Dirt on concentrator
• Velocity of wind
Critical Parameters of Solar Thermal Power Plant

Methods used to evaluate performance of CSP Plant
1. Analytical Approach2. Software Analysis3. Laboratory Method
Analytical Approach
• Optical efficiency
• Collector Efficiency
• Efficiency of Power block
Software Approach
• The models and codes can be grouped according to a “modeling pyramid” which describes a natural hierarchy for performance of solar thermal power plant.

Methods:
1. Deterministic method 2. Probabilistic method Deterministic method In deterministic evaluations of the system or component
performance yield a single value for the simulated output. Input parameters are typically entered as specific values rather than distributions of values that honor the inherent uncertainty in many of the system features and processes. As a result, the confidence of the result and uncertainty associated with the results are not reported.
Software Used To Address Major Components of CSP Technology
Component Software/Code

FLUENT, SAM
Stress Analysis Codes CosmosWorks, ANSYS
Power Cycle GATECYCLE, STEAMPRO
Total System Performance DELSOL, SAM
Probabilistic method
• It quantify the impact of system uncertainties on the simulated performance metrics.
• The confidence level of the simulated metric being above or below a particular value or range can be readily assessed and presented using these probabilistic methods.
• sensitivity analyses can be used with probabilistic analyses to determine the most important components that impact the simulated performance.
• Code used SAM, SOLERGY
Comparison Between Deterministic and Probabilistic Method
• Graph below shows a hypothetical plot of the levelized energy cost (LEC) for a solar thermal power plant calculated using both probabilistic and deterministic methods.
• In both methods, the LEC is calculated using the equation-
• In the probabilistic model, each of the four variables in equation is treated as an uncertain parameter. Each variable is represented by a uniform distribution of values.

An interface with a model based on Finite Element Method (FEM) will be established to import and export solar flux distributions on complex receiver geometries and then evaluate the temperature distributions and material stresses.

CONCLUSION
Based on literature review it is concluded that – Performance of a solar thermal power plant is affected by
various uncertain and sensitive parameters. performance of csp plant is calculated by different methods In deterministic method uncertainty and sensitivity related to
solar thermal power plant is not cosider and provide approximate result that is different from actual value.
Probabilistic method consider all the uncertainty and sensitive parameters related to solar thermal plant hence provide result close to actual.
Scope of future work
• To identify sensitive and uncertain parameter affecting the performance of solar thermal power plant and there distribution.
• Improvement in probabilistic method of performance evaluation.
• Automatic start-up and shutdowns of the plants is one of the main objectives so that plants operate in the most autonomous way.
