The implementation of renewable sources for electricity production into the energy portfolio of European countries has been a priority in recent years, especially taking into account the current geo-political changes. Even though coal is the fuel of the past, its use cannot be put aside that easily; firstly, because of the high fluctuation of electricity production from renewable sources, and secondly because of the possible negative economic impact on the economy resulting from a change in electricity prices when exiting coal. Based on the Rankine process, the authors of this paper designed a solar tower installation with a heliostat field, which enables electricity production based on solar irradiation. This combination also foresees an additional installation for flue gas desulphurisation. This combination of three processes is named the ‘revitalisation model’ for thermal power plants (TPPs). Based on the computer model and energy market parameters, the authors tested the ‘revitalisation model’ for pessimistic and optimistic scenarios. In the scope of the paper, the authors analyse the performance of the proposed ‘revitalisation model’ for three different geographical locations – Berlin in Germany, Wuwei in China, and Hyderabad in India. The results of the analysis are described and shown graphically.Uvajanje obnovljivih virov za proizvodnjo električne energije v energetski portfelj evropskih držav je v zadnjih letih postala prednostna naloga, še posebej zaradi spreminjajočih se geopolitičnih razmer. Premog je gorivo preteklosti, vendar ga ne moremo tako zlahka opustiti. Vodila razloga za to sta veliko nihanje proizvodnje električne energije iz obnovljivih virov in negativni ekonomski vpliv na gospodarstvo, ki bi ga lahko povzročila sprememba cen električne energije s prenehanjem uporabe premoga. Zraven obstoječega procesa Rankine smo zasnovali instalacijo solarnega stolpa s heliostatskim poljem, ki omogoča proizvodnjo električne energije na osnovi sončnega obsevanja. V tej kombinaciji smo tudi predvideli dodatno napravo za razžveplanje dimnih plinov. Ta tri-fazni proces smo poimenovali revitalizacijski model termoenergetskih postrojenj. Na podlagi računalniškega modela in parametrov energetskega trga smo preizkusili model revitalizacije za pesimistični in optimistični scenarij. V članku bomo analizirali uspešnost predlaganega modela revitalizacije za tri različne geografske lokacije – Berlin v Nemčiji, Wuwei na Kitajskem in Hyderabad v Indiji – ter prikazali rezultate analize v pisni in grafični obliki
