The key feature of this approach, typically referred to as Solar Aided Power Generation, SAPG [12], [63], is that the solar heat does not enter the turbines directly so that the thermal efficiency of the solar power is capped by the temperature of the boiler rather than that of the solar collector [10]. This allows higher efficiency for the solar plant than is possible for a
