Demonstration of Energy Storage Integrated with a Solar Dish Field in Whyalla
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes progress towards a first-of-a-kind demonstration of an integrated solar dish and moltensalt storage system, using the superheated steam energy transport concept developed by Wizard Power. Superheated steam is used to charge an energy storage system with a single sensible-heat-storage medium (in this case molten salt), by restricting the steam conditions to the superheat region. The storage plant will deploy four of Wizard Power’s Big Dish solar collectors at a purpose built facility in Whyalla, South Australia, and will be integrated with a two tank molten salt storage system.

Cost and performance analysis of an integrated solar combined cycle with two tanks for indirect thermal energy storage
In this paper, the annual and economic performance of an integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) with indirect energy storage tanks is investigated. The study includes four scenarios, in which the combined cycle performance was studied exclusively in the first scenario. In the second scenario, the integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) was examined, and the use of supplementary firing instead of...
متن کاملOptimization of the PCM-integrated solar domestic hot water system under different thermal stratification conditions
Many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. Several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (ASF) of such systems. In this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (PCM) in SDHW systems is modelled and optimized n...

متن کاملEnergy Consumption and Heat Storage in a Solar Greenhouse: Artificial Neural Network Method
In this study, the performance of a solar greenhouse heating system equipped with a linear parabolic concentrator and a dual-purpose flat plate solar collector was investigated using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method. The heat required for the greenhouse at night hours was supplied by the heat stored in the storage tank by the solar system during the sunshine time and an auxiliary he...
متن کاملIntegrated Unit Commitment and Natural Gas Network Considering the High Solar Penetration
In this paper, the integrated unit commitment problem and gas network operation in which in the presence of renewable wind and solar power plants is modeled. Both wind and solar energy are variable sources of energy, but because solar energy is only available at certain times of the day, it has caused the load curve behavior to change. This change in load curve, known as the "duck curve, has ra...
