Due to the important impact of the cost-benefit on the investment decisions and policy-making, this paper adopted the static payback period (SP), net present value (NPV), net present value rate (NPVR), and internal rate of return (IRR) to analyze and discuss the cost-benefit of CSP demonstration plants. The results showed the following. <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">(<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">1<\/mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">)<\/mml:mo><\/mml:math> The SP of CSP systems is relatively longer, due to high initial investment; but the cost-benefit of CSP demonstration plants as a whole is better, because of good expected incomes. <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">(<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">2<\/mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">)<\/mml:mo><\/mml:math> Vast majority of CSP projects could gain excess returns, on the basis of meeting the profitability required by the benchmark yield of 10%. <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M3\"><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">(<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">3<\/mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">)<\/mml:mo><\/mml:math> The cost-benefit of solar tower CSP technology (IRR of 12.33%) is better than that of parabolic trough CSP technology (IRR of 11.72%) and linear Fresnel CSP technology (IRR of 11.43%). <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M4\"><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">(<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">4<\/mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">)<\/mml:mo><\/mml:math> The annual electricity production and initial costs have significant impacts on the cost-benefit of CSP systems;
