Abstract

This study investigates a hybrid power generation system combining Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and fossil fuel technologies, augmented by Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) to enhance overall plant efficiency and operational flexibility. The thermal analysis explores heat transfer mechanisms and energy conversion processes within the hybrid system, optimizing integration strategies to maximize energy output and minimize environmental impact. Dynamic characteristics are evaluated to assess system responsiveness to varying operational conditions, providing insights into performance stability and potential for grid integration. Results indicate significant improvements in overall efficiency and reliability, positioning CSP-fossil hybrid plants with ORC as promising solutions for sustainable energy generation.
