The purpose of this study is to evaluate the annual performance of CSP plants in Brazil. The software Ebsilon Professional® was used to simulate the solar field of CSP-PTC plants in six Brazilian cities, whose annual levels of DNI are higher than 1700 kWh / m². Profiles of annual efficiency and thermal generation were obtained for each of the selected locations. The results reveal the characteristic patterns of intermittency and variability of CSP plants in Brazil. It was observed that these patterns vary significantly from region to region and that all cities have high values of the incidence angle modifier, thermal efficiencies higher than 50% and capacity factor close to 20%.
