6 FAQs about [Review on concentrated solar power technologies with thermal energy storage]

What is the difference between concentrating solar power and thermal energy storage?

A concentrating solar power (CSP) system converts sunlight into a heat source that can be used to drive a conventional power plant. Thermal energy storage (TES) improves the dispatchability of a CSP plant by storing the heat from the CSP system. Heat can be stored in either sensible, latent, or thermochemical storage.

Where is concentrated solar thermal power suitable?

Concentrated solar thermal power is a global-scale technology that has the capacity to satisfy the energy and development needs of the world without destroying it. The desert regions of India are one of the few places in the world with a high amount of ‘Direct solar radiation’, perfect for solar thermal power plants.

What is concentrating solar power (CSP)?

Concentrating solar power (CSP) is a type of solar power that uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight onto a small area. This process heats up a fluid that drives a turbine and generates electricity. The easy integration of thermal energy storage (TES) makes CSP dispatchable and unique among all other renewable energy generating alternatives.

Why is thermal energy storage important in a CSP system?

In that context, thermal energy storage technology has become an essential part of CSP systems, as it can be seen in Fig. 13, and has been highlighted over this review. Despite the total installed cost for CSP plants with TES tends to be higher than those without, storage also allows higher capacity factors.

Analysis and optimization of a latent thermal energy storage system with embedded thermosyphons for concentrating solar power applications. Economic evaluation of this technology. Experimental study on the optimized composition of mixed carbonate for phase change thermal storage in a solar thermal power plant.

How does thermal energy storage improve the dispatchability of a CSP plant?

Thermal energy storage (TES) enhances the dispatchability of a CSP plant. Heat can be stored in either sensible, latent or thermochemical storage. Commercial deployment of CSP systems has been achieved in recent years with the two-tank sensible storage system using molten salt as the storage medium.
