A Novel Dual Receiver–Storage Design for Concentrating Solar Thermal Plants Using Beam-Down Optics

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Advanced power cycles—such as the supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) cycle—have the potential to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of concentrated solar thermal power (CST) plants by significantly boosting their overall solar-to-electric ...

Peak shaving potential analysis of distributed load virtual power plants

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2020
As an important demand-side management method, distributed load participation in demand response provides an important means for auxiliary services such as peak-clipping and calming fluctuations of renewable power generation. Air conditioning load is usually viewed as a typical thermostatically related load, and is widely distributed in residential ...

Technical Feasibility Study of Thermal Energy Storage Integration into the Conventional Power Plant Cycle

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
The current load balance in the grid is managed mainly through peaking fossil-fuelled power plants that respond passively to the load changes. Intermittency, which comes from renewable energy sources, imposes additional requirements for even more ...
