The optimal configuration for the plant is 100MW capacity, Solar Multipl (SM) = 3.1 and Thermal Energy Storage (TES) = 14 hours with the adoption of air cooling system. The plant with an optimized configuration was simulated and the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE), Capacity Factor (CF), and Overall Efficiency were calculated and found of 7.81 ¢/kWhe, 88% and 15.4%, respectively.The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly, especially in developing countries, which has increased the importance of studying in this field. Likewise, the very limited availability of conventinal energy resources and their severe negative impact on the environment necessitates investment in alternative and renewable energy resources. This study evaluated the technical and economic performance of centralEconomic Evaluation
