Process model diagram for the solar thermal system. The model consists of a three-stage heat exchange process with economizer (Econ), evaporator (Evap), and superheater (SH), a steam turbine, a proxy model for the solar field, and two-tank direct thermal energy storage.
Integrating renewable energy resources into power systems is essential for achieving sustainability targets. Concentrated solar power can incorporate thermal energy storage, which can provide larger storage capacities than other technologies.
The thermal energy storage system modeled here is a two-tank direct system with radiative, convective, and conductive heat loss. This work will simplify the design problem by fixing certain storage parameters in order to explore the effect of storage tank size. Fig. 1. Process model diagram for the solar thermal system.
This work indicates that the future of thermal energy storage may be promising for several reasons. The first key observation is that the high expenses associated with solar thermal energy storage may be outweighed if CSP plants with storage can sell power at wholesale utility rates.
Concentrated solar power can incorporate thermal energy storage, which can provide larger storage capacities than other technologies. In this study, a comprehensive computational framework is developed for the modeling and optimization of a parabolic trough plant with storage.
The first key observation is that the high expenses associated with solar thermal energy storage may be outweighed if CSP plants with storage can sell power at wholesale utility rates. It was also observed that the economic viability of the project is highly dependent on external factors such as power price and available solar thermal energy.
