【 摘 要 】

With the ever-increasing economic development and population growth in Pakistan, there is an unprecedented increase in demand for electricity. On the other hand, using fossil fuels for the generation of electricity is leading to severe environmental pollution. To solve the above-mentioned problems, the use of renewable energy resources (RES) is gaining considerable attention recently. Ample solar energy resources and vast wastelands make Pakistan an ideal country for the development of solar thermal power. Amongst the available solar power technologies, the concentrated solar power (CSP) system is potentially low cost and has no environmental impact. This paper aims to analyze the prospect of electricity generation using various technologies for concentrated solar power systems in Pakistan.
