By incorporating solar fields—typically using parabolic trough collectors with direct steam generation (DSG)—into gas turbine cycles, ISCC systems enhance overall thermal efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. . This study ofers a comprehensive techno-economic and environmental evaluation of a hybrid solar-natural gas combined cycle power plant designed for the Kirkuk region, taking advantage of its high solar irradiance. The proposed system incorporates advanced technologies to maximize eficiency and. . Rising international power requirements has enabled a sudden need of renewable energy-waste heat recovery solutions demand efficient thermodynamic models competent of binding solar and thermal energy successfully.
