Ricardo Chacartegui; Off-design model of concentrating solar power plant with thermochemical energy storage based on calcium-looping. 25 July 2019; 2126 (1): 210006. Dispatchability is a key issue to increase the competitiveness of concentrating solar power plants.
The concentrating solar technologies normally considered are parabolic trough (PTR) and central receiver (tower) systems, where the former has reached and the latter is approaching commercial maturity. The existing studies primarily focus on the reliability-based evaluation of capacity values for CSP plants.
The literature review reveals a limited number of reliability studies involving integration of concentrating solar power (CSP) which is explained by its still low share compared to the wind and photovoltaic energy.
The increasing integration of intermittent renewable energy sources has significantly intensified the demand for flexible resources. In this context, concentrating solar power (CSP) stands poised to play a critical role due to its controllable and dispatchable capabilities.
In this context, concentrating solar power (CSP) stands poised to play a critical role due to its controllable and dispatchable capabilities. However, the dearth of guidelines for modeling CSP in power system optimal planning and operation hinders accurate characterization of CSP’s operational properties.
Growing share of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants in power systems creates the need for including these renewable sources in power system reliability studies.

WHAT IS CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER?
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto receivers where it is converted into heat. A heat transfer fluid transports the thermal energy to a storage system or a power block where it is used to produce steam that drives a steam turbine to generate electricity. The integration of a storage system enables power production during cloudy …
