Integration of CSP and PV Power Plants: Investigations about Synergies by Close Coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photovoltaic (PV) - concentrated solar power (CSP) hybrid plants are an attractive option for supplying cheap and dispatchable electricity. Hybridization options both technologies were investigated, combining their benefits by a deeper integration. Simulations of the different systems performed seven sites varying design parameters to obtain optimal configurations under certain boundary conditions. A techno-economic analysis was using levelized cost electricity (LCOE) nighttime fraction as variables representation. Hybrid compared pure CSP plants, PV-battery PV with electric resistance heater (ERH), thermal energy storage (TES), block (PB). Future projections also considered.

متن کاملLong-Term Modeling of Solar Energy: Analysis of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and PV Technologies
Solar technologies have unique characteristics that require detailed study to develop a suitable representation for modeling purposes. Solar technologies generally have low operating costs and carbon emissions, but high capital cost. Thus financing assumptions are particularly important for this type of capital-intensive technology. Intermittency is also a major characteristic of solar energy. ...
متن کاملGrid Integration of Photovoltaic Plants – a Generic Description of Pv Plants for Grid Studies
This article presents an approach to modelling of threephase photovoltaic (PV) inverters for RMS-based grid integration studies under balanced and unbalanced conditions. The inverter model was rigorously derived from accurate instantaneous value models that were simultaneously used for the development of inverter control and operations software. This approach leads to a precise generic phasor m...
متن کاملOn synergies and vertical integration
We analyze in an incomplete contracts model whether a supplier should be integrated if in addition to his investment level he chooses the degree of relationship specificity. A basic trade-off arises: While non-integration leads to higher investment incentives, potential synergies are foregone. Hence, integration can be optimal even though only the supplier makes an investment decision. This may...
