The integration and optimization of Concentrated Solar Power-Photovoltaic (CSP-PV) hybrid systems have become a focal point in the field of solar energy research and development. The fusion of the strengths from both forms of power generation in the CSP-PV hybrid system offers the potential to deliver affordable and manageable solar energy solutions. However, the key parameters of the CSP plant can vary in different situations. Taking these variations into account is crucial for optimizing the overall performance of the CSP-PV hybrid system and ensuring its adaptability to different scenarios. Therefore, there is a need for a method that can optimize all the main parameters of the CSP and the hybrid system at the same time. The maximum acquired energy from the CSP is 7 kWh with meeting the objective of Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). In this paper utilized the Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA). method to globally optimize the CSP-PV Hybrid System. The experimental results prove the effectiveness of this method.
