In the present study, the current scenario through concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in India was presented. In this paper, a 100 MW parabolic trough collector () thermal power plant selected for the simulation by using System Advisory Model (). Six potential sites were selected for installing solar thermal power plants (STP) throughout India were identified . From the simulation thermal energy storage (TES) performed to obtain the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) was recorded for each potential site. From the results indicates that LCOE under the optimization conditions for thermal plants in were recorded for each site were Bhopal (16.62 ¢/kWh), Jhansi (16.97¢/kWh), Jalandhar (17.88 ¢/kWh), Srikakulam (16.65¢/kWh), West Medinapur (20.29 ¢/kWh), and Erode (15.95 ¢/kWh) respectively. Although the LCOE is lowest in Erode, because of better availability of including government lands, water facilities, transportation facility, transmission lines, and electrical grid stations Jalandhar makes more feasible site for setting PTC solar power plant. In addition, this paper also discussed major potential barriers, and government policies that are needed to develop the CSP technologies in India are presented.
