“…A number of studies have been conducted on the impacts of solar electricity generation in the case of Thailand. Much of the studies have mainly focused on technical aspect including Greacen and Green 2001, Adhikari et al 2003, Sakulpong et al 2011, Kengpol et al 2012, Thawonngamyingsakul and Kiatsiriroat 2012, Iemsomboon et al 2013, Mansiri et al 2014, Kohsri et al 2018, Sonsaree et al 2018, Yoomak et al 2019, Fachrizal and Tang 2019, Manosukritkul et al 2019, Imjai et al 2020and Narkwatchara et al 2021. In addition, some research works has been specifically focused on the Thai electricity grid impacts in terms of system reliability, for example, Siritiprussamee et al 2019, Boonmee et al 2009and Chokmaviroj et al 2006.…”

This paper analyses the impacts of electricity generation from solar energy on the Thai electricity industry. In this paper, three scenarios (REF, Solar2015 and Solar2018) are developed to represent an increased levels of electricity produced from solar energy. A Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) model is employed, in this paper, to assess the impacts for the period 2019–2037. This paper assesses and analyses the scenario impacts in terms of diversification of electricity generation, fossil fuel requirement and emissions of CO2 and SO2. The analysis reveals that increased electricity generation from solar energy would help diversify energy supply for electricity generation, reduce fossil fuel imports, and therefore help improve energy security of the country. Furthermore, it would help mitigating CO2 and SO2 emissions – an issue of environmental significance. Despite several benefits, there are a number of emerging barriers for promoting electricity generation from solar energy in Thailand. These include the intermittency of solar energy, high-capital cost, unsupportable grid infrastructure and unfavourable regulatory framework. This paper, therefore, suggests that the implementation of energy storage system, provision of financial incentives to potential investors, improvement of grid flexibility and the revision of the regulations to support solar energy business could be effective strategies in order to address the barriers facing the Thai electricity industry.

Summary The intensity of the solar radiations falling on the earth surface ranges between 5 and 7.5 kWh/m2/day. For the non‐directed solar thermal application, higher intensity level is required. The Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology incorporating reflecting mirrors reinforces the solar radiations with high intensity. It is suitable for various applications; that is, space heating, space cooling, and cooking, steam, and power generation without any polluted emissions. Meanwhile, among the various CSP technologies, the Concentrating Solar Parabolic Dish Stirling engine System (CSP‐DSS) has got attention of the research community due to its various attractive features. The output power and efficiency of the CSP‐DSS depend upon their geometrical, optical, and operating parameters. It is therefore, necessary to mathematically investigate the influence of these parameters on system performance before its design and installation. In the existing literature reported, only some specific parameters of the CSP‐DSS have been focused and considered to investigate the system performance. To the best of author's knowledge, no literature has been found to provide the mathematical modeling of all the system parameters in a single manuscript to study and investigate their influence on the system performance. Hence, this review article aims to compile, expansively review and organize the systematical mathematical modeling for all optical, geometrical, and operating parameters of the CSP‐DSS along with the system design methodology. Likewise, the effects of these parameters on the system output power and efficiency under various operating conditions have been investigated. In addition, comprehensive study of CSP‐DSS components along with their classification have been painstakingly discussed to determine optimal system configuration. Finally, the latest review study in the field of CSP‐DSS have been deeply and comprehensively discussed. This review study concludes that, the kinematic gamma type Stirling engine coupled with Permanent Magnet DC generator (PMDC) and Azimuth‐Altitude Dual Axis Tracker (AADAT) could be the better CSP‐DSS design and configuration in context of the standalone off‐grid electricity generation system.
