Thermo-Economic Analysis of a hybrid solar micro gas turbine power plant

In particular, many calculations have been performed to simulate the solar-assisted cogenerating plant in different operating conditions in order to identify the optimum sizing of the solar system which reduces the annual costs or the fuel consumption and, consequently, the CO2 emissions. Numerical results are compared with the data available from standard micro gas turbine plant. Finally, an economical evaluation by calculation the SPB (simple pay back) is obtained for all test cases to evaluate the benefit from Italian State incentives.
