Study The Feasibility Of Parabolic Dish (Pd) From Several Prospective Criteri In Malaysia Environment

Promoting the use of Renewable Energy (RE) resources has become one of the top government agendas throughout the world. However, in order to develop RE such as Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) in Malaysia, several key factors that affect the performance of this system should be thoroughly investigated. Therefore, this paper aims to study the feasibility of implementing Parabolic Dish (PD) based on CSP in Malaysia environment by evaluating the CSP technologies, Meteorological data, Direct Solar Irradiance (DNI), global Parabolic Dish development, sites selection, and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of the PD system. Therefore, an innovative development and research of Parabolic Dish CSP should be carried out with an in depth consideration on both technical and economic aspects to ensure that the Parabolic Dish technology development will be as matured as the other CSP technologies
