Abstract: Hybridization of geothermal power plants with concentrating solar power systems is an attractive solution to enhance the dispatch capacity of thermal power plants. Hence, the design and thermo-economic analyses of a combined solar-geothermal power plant with different organic fluids have been investigated. This configuration generates electricity at two temperature levels; high one at a topping parabolic trough solar power plant, and low one at a bottoming binary geothermal plant. The topping solar plant is equipped with energy storage and fuel backup systems simultaneously to maximize the generated power. Furthermore, the bottoming geothermal plant has been analyzed with nine different organic fluids.
