dc.description.abstract	This study presents a techno-economic feasibility of supercritical CO2-driven Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies in Bangladesh, with a focus on both solar tower and parabolic trough collectors. The study is conducted based on the location of Cox's Bazar, renowned for its high solar irradiance, making it ideal for solar energy generation. Utilizing the System Advisory Model (SAM) software, a comprehensive design and optimization process for both CSP systems is performed, detailing key components such as the solar field, power block, and thermal energy storage system. Performance indicators, including overall efficiency, capacity factor, and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), are rigorously evaluated. The results indicate that, the solar tower CSP plant achieves an overall efficiency of 16.33%, comparable to global CSP standards, with an annual electricity generation of 382.13 GWh, sufficient to meet the energy needs of a significant portion of Bangladesh's population. The LCOE is estimated at $0.078/kWh, making it competitive with other renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic systems. Additionally, a comparative analysis with parabolic trough collectors reveals the solar tower's superior performance, albeit by a small margin. A detailed techno-economic assessment and parametric analysis are conducted to identify the optimal operating conditions for both technologies, focusing on solar multiple and thermal storage hours. This study's findings provide critical insights for policymakers, investors, and stakeholders, facilitating informed decisions on deploying CSP technology in Bangladesh and other regions with similar climatic conditions	en_US
