How can solar PV and CSP reduce energy consumption in peaking plants?
This combination of solar PV and CSP with thermal energy storage also reduces the consumption of fossil fuels such as natural gas in peaking plants by providing a comparable, but renewable, dispatchable power source over the same hourly peaks.
How is solar energy used in a CSP plant?
In a CSP plant that includes storage, the solar energy is first used to heat molten salt or synthetic oil, which is stored providing thermal/heat energy at high temperature in insulated tanks. Later the hot molten salt (or oil) is used in a steam generator to produce steam to generate electricity by steam turbo generator as required.
What makes a CSP plant a dispatchable form of solar?
A CSP plant can incorporate thermal energy storage, which stores energy either in the form of sensible heat or as latent heat (for example, using molten salt), which enables these plants to continue supplying electricity whenever it is needed, day or night. This makes CSP a dispatchable form of solar.
