Technical FAQs 4

Where can I find a report on concentrating solar power?

This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at P-Worldwide(4): International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). 2012. Renewable Energy Technologies Cost Analysis Series: Concentrating Solar Power.

What is concentrating solar power (CSP)?

1 Introduction Concentrating solar power (CSP) is considered an attractive technology in many parts of the world because it can be equipped with low-cost thermal energy storage to provide dispatchable renewable energy and offer flexibility to a national grid.

Can a 100 MW solar system save money?

Overall, even just 100 MW of CSP can bring moderate savings on total system operation cost and reduced curtailment of renewables. As summarized in Table 6, changing from 4-hour storage to 8-hour storage for the CSP unit with a solar multiple of 1.6 can result in $1.26 million (0.39%) in annual cost savings.

Can solar energy save money?

Greater solar multiples and storage duration (a SM of 1.8 and storage length of 8 hours) lead to higher cost savings of up to $2.19 million (0.69%) because of the replacement of coal generation, and an 8.40% reduction in total renewable energy curtailment. 23
