In this paper a new idea, i.e., solar aided power generation (SAPG) is proposed. The new solar aided concept for the conventional coal-fired power stations, i.e., integrating solar (thermal) energy into conventional power station cycles has the potential to make the conventional coal-fired power station be able to generate green electricity.
