Free QuoteCSP plants with thermal energy storage (TES) can overcome the intermittency of solar and other renewables, enabling dispatchable power production independent of fossil fuels and associated CO 2 emissions. Worldwide, much has been done over the past several decades to develop and validate what are now viewed as “conventional” CSP-TES solutions.
Solar concentrated power systems direct the sun rays toward a receiver, where they are transformed into heat (see in Fig. 1). As a result, a turbine generates power from the steam. Power can be stored for periods of low sunlight at CSP installations using thermal energy storage devices.
However, one of the key factors that determine the development of this technology is the integration of efficient and cost effective thermal energy storage (TES) systems, so as to overcome CSP's intermittent character and to be more economically competitive. This paper presents a review on thermal energy storage systems installed in CSP plants.
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.
After the receiver captures the heat on the HTF, the thermal energy is transported either for conversion or for storage. Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to the reduced or curtailed production when sun sets or is blocked by clouds (as in PV systems).
Different technologies to store thermal energy for CSP application (between 200 °C and 1000 °C) are described below. Emphasis is put on recent advances in thermochemical heat storage technology, which is under-developed but has a great potential. 3.1. Sensible heat storage
