Solar powered mini steam power plant: a simulation approach

Abstract

The solar powered steam power plant is a mini power plant that is meant to generate power at the location of the consumer hence playing a pivotal role in distributed power generation. This plant will also have a huge impact on the environment as it utilises the sun's energy, making it eco-friendly and reducing its impact on the environment by reducing the amount of fossil fuel consumption. In this paper, an effort has been made to use the sun energy to meet the energy needs by proposing a hybrid power plant. The simulation is implemented in Labview.
