Solar thermal storage medium join operation
Integrating solar receivers and thermal energy storage in a concentrating solar thermal plant helps to enhance plant efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants utilize TES to increase flexibility so they can be used as “peaker” plants that supply electricity. . Different types of fluids are commonly used for storing thermal energy from concentrating solar power (CSP) facilities. The demand for renewable energy sources has made TES integration within CSP facilities a viable solution to stabilize solar energy availability. In this chapter. . An answer to this challenge is Thermal Energy Sto-rage (TES): the temporary storage of energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used later for power gene-ration or heating/cooling industrial needs.
