According to Table 4, the primary reason for the increase in total costs is the rise in construction costs of the power generation system, while operating costs initially increase and then decrease, peaking at a 30% penetration rate. Carbon market costs gradually decrease, mainly due to the reduction in thermal power unit capacities as penetration increases.
At present, solar power generation technology can be divided into solar photovoltaic power (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) (Chen and Fan 2012).
