Furthermore, the conversion of solar to steam is a relatively high-efficiency process versus the conversion efficiency of PV. This process can effectively supplement fossil fuels and renewable fuel, such as biomass, and thus contribute to the overall energy security of the country. The specific objective of the study is to assess the potential of India's industries to set up a manufacturing base to produce CSP technology components and equipment. The study assesses competitive positioning and the potential of Indian companies in the manufacturing of important CSP components. Various analysis models were prepared for the analysis, and the details have been explained in the elaborated version of the report. The report also proposes an action plan to help develop this potential and evaluate the resulting economic benefits. This report includes the following activities: i) assessment of the competitive position of local industries to support the development of CSP technologies in India; ii) evaluation of short, medium, and long-term economic benefits of creation of a local manufacturing base; and iii) action plan to stimulate local manufacturing of CSP technology components and equipment. This document is a summary of the larger report. The data analysis and messages presented in the report are based on very limited information presently available in the Indian market. Therefore, it is recommended that the trends and ideas to be given more attention than the data itself.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTION PLANAPPROACHARRAYSAUCTIONAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOTIVEAVAILABILITYAVERAGE PRICEBACKUPBALANCEBALANCE SHEETBASICBIDDINGBIOMASSBOILERBOILER COMPONENTSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY FACTORCAPACITY UTILIZATIONCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCATERINGCEMENTCERTIFICATECHEMICAL INDUSTRIESCHEMICAL INDUSTRYCLIMATE CHANGECOALCOLLECTION SYSTEMCOMBUSTIONCOMMERCIALIZATIONCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGESCONSTRUCTIONCONTROL SYSTEMSCONVENTIONAL STEAM TURBINESCONVERSION EFFICIENCYCOOLING TOWERSCOST OF ELECTRICITYCOST OF ENERGYCUSTOMCUSTOMSCYCLE SYSTEMDEVICESDIESELDOMESTIC MARKETDOWN TIMEDRUM BOILERSELECTRIC SYSTEMELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTELECTRICAL TRANSMISSIONELECTRICITYELECTRICITY TARIFFELECTRONICSELECTRONICS INDUSTRYEND USERSENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY GENERATIONENERGY INFRASTRUCTUREENERGY LOSSESENERGY SOURCESENERGY SYSTEMSENGINEERINGEQUIPMENTEQUIPMENTSEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKETSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RISKSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN TRADEFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL POWERFOSSIL FUEL POWER PLANTSFOSSIL FUEL RESERVESFOSSIL FUELSFUELFUNCTIONALITYGASGAS BOILERSGAS INDUSTRYGAS TURBINEGAS TURBINE APPLICATIONSGASESGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEGLOBAL MARKETGREEN ENERGYGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGRID POWERGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEATHEAT EXCHANGERHEAT EXCHANGERSHEAT RECOVERYHEAT TRANSFERINDUSTRIAL BASEINDUSTRIAL BOILERSINDUSTRY STANDARDINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINNOVATIONINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYIPIRONISPJOINT VENTUREJOINT VENTURESKILOWATT-HOURKNOW-HOWLICENSELOCALIZATIONLOOPSMANUFACTURINGMANUFACTURING INDUSTRYMARKET ASSESSMENTMARKET CONDITIONSMARKET DEMANDMARKET DEVELOPMENTMARKET PENETRATIONMARKET POTENTIALMARKET SEGMENTSMARKET SHARESMARKETINGNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS PRICESNAVIGATIONNEW TECHNOLOGIESOILOILSOUTLET TEMPERATUREPEAK LOADSPETROLEUMPIPELINEPIPING SYSTEMSPLANT OWNERPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY FRAMEWORKSPOWER BLOCKPOWER CORPORATIONPOWER DEMANDPOWER DISTRIBUTIONPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER LINESPOWER PLANTPOWER PLANTSPOWER PRODUCTIONPOWER SECTORPOWER STATIONPOWER SYSTEMSPRESSURE VESSELSPRICE LEVELPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE SECTORPROCESS HEATPROCUREMENTPRODUCTION PROCESSESPROJECT MANAGEMENTPROVEN TECHNOLOGYPUMPSPURIFICATION SYSTEMQUALITY STANDARDSR&DRAW MATERIALRAW MATERIALSREDUCTIONS IN COSTREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRELIABILITYRENEWABLE ENERGIESRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRESULTRESULTSROBOTICSSALESSANDSECURITIESSENSORSSILICONSIMULATIONSOLAR COLLECTORSOLAR ENERGYSOLAR INDUSTRYSOLAR POWERSOLAR POWER PLANTSOLAR PROJECTSSOLAR RADIATIONSOLAR RESOURCESSOLAR SYSTEMSSOLAR THERMALSOLAR THERMAL ENERGYSOLAR THERMAL SYSTEMSSTANDARDIZATIONSTEAM GENERATIONSTEAM GENERATORSSTEAM TURBINESTEAM TURBINESSTORAGE MEDIASUNLIGHTSUPPLIERSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTARGETSTAX CREDITTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTTECHNOLOGY COMPONENTSTECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTTECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTTECHNOLOGY PERSPECTIVETECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTELEGRAPHTELEPHONETHERMAL CONDUCTIVITYTHERMAL CONVERSIONTHERMAL ENERGYTHERMAL POWERTHERMAL POWER GENERATIONTHERMAL POWER PLANTSTHERMAL TECHNOLOGIESTRADITIONAL FOSSIL FUELTRANSMISSIONSTURBINETURBINE GENERATORTURBINE GENERATORSTURBINE MANUFACTURERSTURBINESUSESVALUE CHAINWINDWIND POWER10.1596/17475
