dc.description	We get a significant amount of energy from the sun. Per day we receive about 1,300 watts of power per hour per meter in the Earth's outer atmosphere. Roughly 30% of this power is reflected back, resulting in a remarkable 4.2 kilowatt-hours of energy per meter per day. It can be further assumed with accuracy for each square meter absorbs the estimated energy equivalent of approximately a barrel of oil annually. The amount of solar energy reaching the planet's ground is so significant that it will be about twice as much in a year as all the Earth's non-renewable coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium reserves. Combined deserts with lower cloud cover get approximately 50% more energy per square meter and higher sunshine hours do have equatorial regions. As a result, solar power can also be harnessed at different levels based on the geographic location of the regions. The squandering use of fossil fuel has caused massive climate change through the greenhouse effect and caused large-scale ozone contamination. The shortage of non-renewable energy resources and the need to minimize several of the emissions have forced the world to move towards the production of electricity by green energy. Green energy refers to environmentally sustainable and un-polluting sources of hydro, wind, geothermal and solar energy. The most profuse and easy sources of renewable energy are photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology. CSP has now become popular in recent years following a stagnation period of 15 years until the 1990s. California will generate 20% of its total energy in 2010 using green solar technology and 33% in 2020. [3] Renewable energy currently produces a total of 559.80MW of electricity, of which the government of Bangladesh has already included CSP in the 2009 Renewable Energy Strategy with a whopping 325.82MW or 52.8% [4]. Since CSP would soon become less costly than PV factor 3, installing large-scale CSP plants would be easier to harness solar energy to ease Bangladesh's current and future power crisis.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	Solar power (CSP) is an exciting energy generation technology that concentrates solar radiation to produce high temperatures in a solar power plant to generate steam. In this process, no fossil fuel is used; therefore, no greenhouse gas is released. This study explores Bangladesh's average yearly sunlight period and was compared to other developing countries, such as Germany and Spain, prominent for their growth in the field of renewable energy. Suitable locations are recommended for solar plants based on optimum efficiency variables such as sunlight hours, obtained sunshine radiation, form of plane etc. Possible solar technologies such as solar concentration (CSP) have been mentioned with their optimal power, performance, storage installation and unit cost. The analysis is based on the annual direct normal irradiation (DNI) results. Suitable locations are recommended for solar plants based on optimum efficiency variables such as sunlight hours, obtained sunshine radiation, form of the plane etc. Possible solar technologies such as solar concentration (CSP) have been mentioned with their optimal power, performance, storage installation and unit cost. The analysis is based on the annual direct normal irradiation (DNI) results. The area needed for the generation of 100MWe of electricity with an average annual DNI of 2,000kWh/ is about 2k . The average annual DNI in Bangladesh is almost 1900 kWh/ that are enough to run the CSP plant. As fuel costs are absent in CSP, the energy crisis in Bangladesh may be an attractive choice. This paper focuses on the possibility of CSP use in Bangladesh. The area needed for the generation of a 100MWe of electricity with an average annual DNI of 2,000kWh/ is about 2k .
