1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In recent years, the power sector of Bangladesh has seen a major development in terms of generation capacity. But as before, it is heavily dependent on fossil fuels overlooking the potential of renewable energy resources. The scope for grid-connected renewable energy systems has not been explored too far and in terms of solar thermal energy and concentrating solar power (CSP), it is even less. This study focuses on assessing the techno-economic feasibility of solar-driven Dish Stirling system for large-scale grid-connected power generation in Bangladesh. Detailed modeling and optimization of a 100 MW Dish Stirling power plant have been carried out in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, a location suitable for solar energy harnessing due to favorable climatic conditions. The modeling parameters and weather data have been collected from relevant literature, various solar data providers, and specific plant parameters have been optimized for the Bangladeshi climatic condition. Simulation of the modeled plant carried out by the System Advisor Model (SAM) shows that, it can supply 129.856 GWh electricity annually operating at an overall efficiency of 24.91% which is much higher than the values reported in similar literature for the South-Asian regions. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) has been determined to be 10.18 cents/kWh, which is highly competitive and promising. The insights obtained from this study can be a perfect starting point for the policymakers and concerned authorities of Bangladesh to further explore the viability of this technology for renewable and sustainable power.
