2. Sunlight is
concentrated, using
mirrors or directly,
on to receivers
heating the
circulating fluid
which further
generates steam
&/or electricity.
CSP uses- Direct
Normal Irradiance
(DNI)
3. •The basic and the most essential
requirement for this is that the solar
radiations fall directly on the mirrors.
•There are states in India that receive
enough solar power.
•The states that are perfect for the
solar thermal plants or CSP are Gujarat
and Rajasthan.
•However, other states like Maharashtra,
Tamil nadu, Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra
Pradesh are also suitable

5. Thermal storage
useful even on
cloudy days or at
nights
Increase in CUF
Flexible
configuration
Hybridization
combining it with
some other
technology will
reduce the pricing.

6. The Jawaharlal Nehru national solar mission
(JNNSM) was launched on January 11
It was divided into 3 phases
For the phase1, the distribution of PV and
CSP was same
For the phase 2, the distribution was changed
to 30% for CSP and 70% for PV
new policies are expected to come forward
after the conference “CSP focus “ held
recently on 2rd and 3rd July, 2015.

8. The Godawari plant was the 2nd project
started in 2013 under this scheme.
It was parabolic trough based
is the only one which has commissioned
successfully so far.
It was the biggest CSP plant in Asia at that
time.
9. No reliable DNI data
No successful projects
Cost
No local manufacturing
No skilled manpower
Competition from PV
Water issues
DNI profile of
India
11. Accurate DNI data
Promoting CSP applications
Indulge in local manufacturing
Reworking the present projects
Demonstration projects to be set up
Hybridization technique
New policies
12. India can be a hub of CSP
search for alternate sources of energy
make it necessary for India to switch to
CSP
projects were made in this direction but
they failed due to various barriers
Still a lot to change
