Innovative configuration of a hybrid nuclear-parabolic trough solar power plant

This paper proposes a combination of a nuclear and a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant. Most of today’s operating nuclear reactor systems are producing saturated steam at relatively low pressure. This, in turn, limits their thermodynamic efficiency. Superheating of nuclear steam with solar therma...
