The aim of the paper is to analyze the</div><div>initial costs, the maintenance costs and benefits deriving from both the government economic incentives and</div><div>the selling of energy between a 40 MWp PV plant and a 40 MW CSP plant. Even if the two plants under test</div><div>have the same rated power, it results that the produced energy, under the same environmental conditions, is</div><div>different. This technical aspect influences the business plan, because the government incentives, as well as the</div><div>selling of energy, are directly related to the produced energy. Finally, initial costs as well as maintenance costs</div><div>are also different because of the different constitutive components and the operation principle.</div>}, number={2}, journal={Sistemas & Gestão}, author={Vergura, Silvano and Lameira, Valdir de Jesus}, year={2012}, month={mar.}, pages={210–220} }
