How to design a concentrated solar power plant with molten salt thermal energy storage?

The design and development of a concentrated solar power plant with molten salt thermal energy storage require a comprehensive understanding of various system components, including the heliostat field, receiver, power cycle, thermal storage, and integration with the grid [12-13].

What is thermal storage in a solar power plant?

Thermal Storage: Thermal storage is an essential component of a solar concentrated power plant, allowing energy to be stored for use during periods of low sunlight or high electricity demand.

What is the efficiency of thermal energy storage system?

Power cycle: The efficiency of the power cycle is 0.412 [ 53 ]. Based on that efficiency, the required input thermal power to generate 100 MW electrical power is 269.4 MW t. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the power block are 574 °C and 290 °C. Thermal Energy Storage System: The system is initially designed for 12 h of storage.

How to design a 100 MW solar tower plant?

2.4.1. Solar tower plant design A 100 MW ST CSP plant is designed with a central tower tubular receiver and circular heliostat field with a radial staggered configuration. Circular field arrangement is adopted since it is better suited for large scale plants with TES system [ 47 ].
