Installation of 100 MW Concentrated Solar Power Plant in Lebanon: A Comparative Study Between Linear Fresnel and Dish-Stirling

Our study consists of analyzing and comparing the Linear Fresnel system and the Parabolic Dish-Stirling system with the aim of installing a 100 MW concentrated solar power plant in Lebanon, a region in the Middle East with abundant solar radiation. The comparison is done in both technical and economic aspects, in which both systems are evaluated for a possible transition from fossil fuel to solar energy. The variation of the temperature and solar radiation parameters will enable us to measure the performance of each system.
