This article explains the most recent assessments on solar thermal energy-driven power plants' integrated systems. There was strong experimental and modeled agreement in Almeria, Spain, using a hybrid CSP that used two TESs [6]. Molten salt (MS) pumping and free drainage between the hot and cold tanks were the thermal energy storage technologies. A hybrid solar-powered system is suggested in [7] for industrial sustainability. An economical, low-concentration, high-optical-efficiency parabolic trough collector with a custom-built bio-driven boiler to smooth out solar power variations is the subject of this comprehensive optimization and techno-economic-environmental study. A decarbonization approach for power plants, which is adaptable and sustainable, is introduced in [8]. The device incorporates a solar energy-powered hybrid membrane-amine carbon capture system. A 19.4% increase in power production and a 10.3% decrease in carbon intensity are the results of the design. There is a 6.9% decrease in specific reboiler duty and a 44% decrease in packing volume. The 8 MWh(tm) prototype plant for molten salt production was conceived, built, and tested [9]. The heat exchanger and storage tanks, two key components, were extensively tested. Big commercial CSP initiatives utilizing an MS TES yielded satisfactory results. Compared to sensible and latent heat storage, thermo-chemical storage (TCS) systems were determined to need a greater amount of study in [10]. According to the analysis, there is a good chance that solar power may fulfill the world's energy demands (as briefly described in [11]). At the moment, there is not much room for role-playing. Along with the most recent concentrators, you will find details on how to assess various factors and choose the most economical choice. Concentrating solar technology as it is now was analyzed in [12]. The optical and thermal qualities of the concentrate, together with its design, manufacturing, modification, testing, monitoring system, and materials, were covered. According to what is stated in [13], this may be achieved while staying under the thermodynamic concentration limit. A parabolic solar energy system was created in [14] with the help of such instructions and recommendations. Solar power, food processing, and other fields have recently made strides. It was expected that the benefits of commercializing and implementing the authorized technology would materialize. In addition, feedback from actual users was solicited for this technology. According to the author, optimizing the architecture of a solar tubular receiver is crucial for improving its operating efficiency [15]. We looked at the problematic condition that was affecting its performance. The volumetric receiver design was thoroughly examined in [16] in an effort to minimize the amount of heat lost. Volumetric and tube receivers, which operate in various ways and have distinct geometries, were compared. According to [17], In addition to generating electricity, the suggested system generates cooling, fresh water, domestic hot water, and hydrogen. Energy and exergy efficiencies are used to evaluate the system's overall performance based on thermodynamic analysis. Parametric studies look at how changing several operational factors and circumstances affects performance. At various stages of the process, the cost rate is estimated. A novel thermal system called MiniStor is introduced in the article [18]. It employs a thermochemical heat storage (TCM) method based on a reversible reaction between an ammoniated calcium chloride salt and the ammonia (CaCl\({}_{2}\)/NH\({}_{3}\)) cycle to produce heat and coolness. An integrated thermal system featuring photovoltaic thermal collectors, flat plate solar collectors, a thermal conductor module (TCM), and phase change material (PCM) units for energy storage was modeled in Aspen Plus Dynamics using Matlab/Simulink. Thermodynamic analysis and a novel integrated solar-energy-based system for producing both power and potable water are presented in [19; 20].
