School of Science and Technology, MSc in Energy Systems

This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in Energy Systems at the International Hellenic University. Its main scope is to produce an assessment of the chances, risks and expected benefits of the concentrating solar power (CSP) technology, with emphasis given to socio-economic and environmental aspects for the Mediterranean region. For this purpose, after providing an overview of the CSP technologies and analyzing the configuration of CSP plants, the socio-economic impact derived from CSP technology and the various environmental impacts were examined. In addition an overview of the CSP market worldwide and the potential implementation of CSP technology in some Mediterranean countries were presented. Consequently, various case studies were analyzed to evaluate impact of aspects like use of land and water, use of hybrid RES systems and also thermal storage applications. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the financial viability of a CSP plant in Mediterranean region under various preconditions.
