- Solar-thermal power plants operating on Solar-Organic Rankine cycle (S-ORC) are simple and low-cost. Refrigerant R245FA seems to be more suitable as working fluid for S-ORC plant. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant is more efficient.Along with the Photo-Voltaic (PV) and technology Solar-Thermal (ST) technology covers one-third of world’s energy demand. It is a clean technology and green technology, as there is no green-house gases (GHG) emission, and so it is environmental friendly. Hybrid PV-ST based power plants are also in operation in many places of states. The levelized electricity cost (LEC) of CSP is similar to that of PV (both fall in the range $100–200/MWh depending on the scale of application) although CSP has an edge in terms of efficiency.
