An integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) is a hybrid technology in which a solar thermal field is integrated within a combined-cycle plant. In ISCC plants, solar energy is used as an auxiliary heat supply, supporting the steam cycle, which results in increased generation capacity or a reduction of fossil fuel use. Thermodynamic benefits are that daily steam turbine startup losses are eliminated.
