However, in regions with strong solar irradiation, the use of solar add-ons in fossil fuel plants can enable significant reductions of the CO2 footprint.

Hybrid concentrating solar power (H-CSP) is a generation type whereby a solar add-on is fitted in a conventional power plant in order to save fuel, by taking over a part of its steam supply otherwise supplied by fossil fuel.

The solar add-ons were designed to replace the bleed extractions from the steam turbine for the HP and IP feed water heaters, known as ‘FWH #1’ and ‘FWH #2’ respectively.
