To compete with conventional heat-to-power technologies, such as thermal power plants, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) must meet the electricity demand roun...
In contrast, concentrating solar power (CSP) plants which supplies thermal energy to the power cycle, obtain yields close to 100% through their combination with thermal energy storage (TES) systems [3, 4]. Furthermore, the capital cost of TES is lower than mechanical or chemical storage systems .
However, one of the key factors that determine the development of this technology is the integration of efficient and cost effective thermal energy storage (TES) systems, so as to overcome CSP's intermittent character and to be more economically competitive. This paper presents a review on thermal energy storage systems installed in CSP plants.
The newer CSP plants have significant storage capacity from 5 to 8.5 h using 2 tank-indirect storage configurations. Nevertheless, the fact that more than half of the plants do not allow for energy storage is a sign of a need to develop and integrate energy storage systems for this CSP configuration. 4.2. Dish/engine parabolic systems
Current operation of CSP plants is analogous to conventional thermal power plants, except for the use of solar radiation as a thermal energy source to produce electrical energy through an associated power cycle. A working fluid transfers the thermal energy, circulating between the solar field and the power block.
