Central receiver concentrating solar power (CSP) plants based on particles as heat transfer fluid in circuits and supercritical CO2 (S–CO2) Brayton cycles can fulfil the requirements for next generation CSP to improve solar-to-electric efficiency reduce energy storage costs. However, effective incorporation of these two concepts requires an in-depth understanding their characteristics appropriate approach match them. This paper addresses importance design features annualized performances...
The optimal sizing of solar tower power (STP) plants with thermal energy storage (TES) is critical for increasing the system reliability and reducing investment cost. However, it still unclear to determine key design parameters STP system, including direct normal irradiance (DNI), multiple (SM) TES hours. In this study, a thermo-economic analysis effects these on capacity factor levelized cost (LCOE) 50 MW plant presented using System Advisor Model. Optimal combinations are obtained respect...
Implementing high performance hybrid energy generation system requires a comprehensive analysis of the multiple influences including layout, design parameters, endowments on overall performance. For regions with varying solar and geothermal resource distributions, utilizing shallow water for preheating Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) working fluids is relatively simple efficient application energy. This study designs 300 kW ORC-based solar-geothermal power system, obtains optimal configurations,...
