Abstract :
Micro concentrated solar power is a very promising technology. It uses relatively smaller solar collectors to concentrate sunlight and convert it into heat. In this paper, feasibility of micro concentrated solar power has been analyzed. Bangladesh has advantages such as solar energy, electric network, back up fossil fuels, ambient temperature for micro concentrated solar power. Among many applications of micro concentrated solar power most important applications are air conditioning, irrigation, process heat, producing electricity, desalination and solar fuels for transportation. Various applications of micro concentrated solar power hold immense potential to help Bangladesh to reduce power crisis.
