• Making Solar Thermal Power Generation in India a Reality (2007)-

  This is a document provided by Mr. Shirish Garud and Dr. Ishan Purohit, research associates within the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi, India, which proposes an economic and environment evaluation of India’s solar thermal potential. After a brief presentation of India’s power scenarios, the authors pass in review some solar thermal power generation technologies, like parabolic trough system, power tower system or parabolic dish systems.

• Making Solar Thermal Power Generation in India a Reality - Overview of Technologies, Opportunities and Challenges-

  This document from the Energy and Resources Institute gives an overview of the state of play of solar thermal development in India. It makes a link with the set target to reach 50 MW from solar energy by 2012.

  The paper explanes the opportunities for solar thermal power generation in India but also indicates certain barriers that block the further development of this technology. As a way forward, it is suggested that India should take a fresh initiative to assess the latest technology and its feasibility in the Indian context.
