Decarbonization Avenue : Concentrated Solar Power

Challenges

Large quantum of water requirements

In addition to water needed for the rankine cycle. CSP plants with wet cooling can offer better thermal performance. Large amounts of water are required for running the CSP plants, but the availability of water is usually quite restricted in arid or semiarid regions - which happen to be otherwise some of the most suitable sites for CSP construction. The most suitable regions to build a CSP plant are generally desert regions with high DNI and water scarcity.
