###### Abstract
The study revealed that the installation of TES increases the plant capacity and decreases the consumption of fuel in the plant. Another study that conducted an analysis of CSP in the Republic of India concluded that the country has the potential to construct about 1000 GW of CSP capacity [18]. In a techno-assessment analysis of photovoltaic hybrid power systems/wind energy on the small island of Lakshadweep in India, [PERSON]. [19] revealed that the photovoltaic (PV)-wind hybrid system is more cost-effective than the PV or wind system alone. [PERSON] et al. [20] also evaluated the techno economics, possibilities, and capital investment cost for the parabolic trough collector (PTC) and STPP models in India. Their study revealed that solar tower power plants (STPP) are able to deliver higher annual electricity and reduce LCOE. Furthermore, [PERSON] et al. [21] and [PERSON] et al. [22] focused on identifying the design parameters for CSP plants in India. Their outcome, however, differs from the techno-assessment of Ref. [23], which established a price-driven strategy for five different types of thermal energy storage in CSP plants within a spot electricity marketing campaign for Daggett (California). Meanwhile, [PERSON] et al. [24] developed a mathematical model for the parabolic solar/dish Stirling method for the region of Jamshoro in Pakistan, which shows CSP's suitability for the region. [PERSON] et al. [25] performed a techno-economic analysis of three different technologies, i.e., PTC, STPP, and solar parabolic dish (SPD), under different economic criteria in Malaysia. Their study indicated the practical suitability of PTC and STPP for East and Peninsula Malaysia. [PERSON] et al. [26] also studied the techno-economics of a hybridized CSP plant using both TES and Natural gas. The results of their study suggest that the inclusion of a storage system regulates the production of power by natural gas and solar energy in the daytime. The solar fraction of the hybrid power plant also increases with little reduction in thermodynamic efficiency. In Tanzania, [PERSON] et al. [27] suggested that the feasibility of CSP in Tanzania is dependent on the financial condition, policy mechanisms, and lower debt interest rates. The study of [PERSON] et al. [28] revealed that advanced TES technology based on a mixture of molten salts and which has higher thermal ability as well as lower and nitrate salt mixtures bring out the most promising results. Furthermore, [PERSON] et al. [29] conducted a techno-assessment of 16.616 MWht by using magnetic ore as a heat storage media and a Delcoterm solar E15 as a heat transfer fluid. The results of their work show that the proposed system is able to supply 16 MWht to the overall power block, which requires high-cost investment from the government or investors. [PERSON] et al. [30] analyzed a CSP for Spain and suggested that CSP technology is feasible in Spain under the current electricity rate and post-subsidy conditions. Finally, ref. [31] also studied the performance of a 50 MW PTC plant wet-cooled condenser in Tataouine and a dry-cooled condenser in Tunisia. The results show that the LCOE of the dry and wet-cooled PTC plants in the two locations are 18.28 EUR cents/kWh and 15.97 EUR cents/kWh. The authors simultaneously compared the wet-cooled condenser model results with the Andasol-1 CSP plant in Spain. The results from their findings show that the LCOE can be reduced by 1.45%. [PERSON] et al. [32] analyzed the techno-economics of a PTC and an STPP along with two cooling models of 20, 50, 100, and 200 MWe capacities for a plant Shiraz in Iran. Preliminary results from their study show that the dry-cooled STPP plant, with a capacity of 100 MWe, demonstrated an efficient configuration for the Shiraz location. Similarly, ref. [33] investigated the effect of deploying wet and dry-cooled condensers on the performance of STPP plants. The outcome of their study reveals that using dry-cooled condenser in the STPP plant could result in a reduction of the energy and exergy by about 4.6%.
