Over the past few years, there has been growing interest in using inorganic quaternary nitrate-based molten salt mixtures as a highly effective heat transfer fluid (HTF) for concentrated power plants, primarily because they can achieve low melting temperatures. However, the high viscosity of these salt mixtures is still a significant challenge that...

... Moreover, exergy analysis has been acknowledged by many researchers as first step for optimizing of energy system, 4-7 and various authors [8][9][10] have connected exergy with various sustainability indices. Basically, exergy based sustainability indices presents the characteristics of energy system through various numbers, 11 and in order to determine the magnitude of these numbers an insight into exergy analysis is imperative. ...
... Renewable energy has gained increasing attention in recent years due to rising global energy demand, climate change and serious global environmental pollution [1][2][3][4][5]. Solar energy will play an important role in future sustainable energy systems. ...
... kWh translates to 250.66 kg CO 2 /MWh. An equivalent gas turbine has an average emission of CO 2 is 644.9 kg/MWh [28], while a 3 MW steam power plant emits about 3,677.27 kg CO 2 /MWh when running on natural gas and 6,624.26 ...
