The size of the storage is 18 h capacity. After multiple iterations to achieve the same capacity factor of the Riyadh plant which is 79% the solar multiple is 3.5 with an LCOE of 0.137 $/kWh. This is a rather strong contrast to the Riyadh case which required a solar multiple of 6 and is attributed to the high DNI in Tabuk versus Riyadh.
The size of the storage is 18 h capacity. After multiple iterations to maximize the capacity factor of the plant by increasing the solar multiple, the plant capacity factor is 79% with a solar multiple of 6 (LCOE 0.177 $/kWh). Fig. 9. Case 1: Riyadh baseline hourly generation CSP-PT SM = 6.
In Riyadh, the solar multiple ranged from 2.9 to 3 with the PV portion of the plant having a nameplate capacity equal to that of the CSP portion and 1.95 for a case with the PV nameplate capacity 60% greater than the CSP portion. For these same cases in Tabuk, the solar multiples were 1.78–1.85 and 1.6 simultaneously.
Hlusiak et al. [ 15] studied a hybrid CSP + PV plant in Morocco composed of a solar thermal collector field with thermal energy storage (TES), a PV system, and a fossil fuel burner, to assess the operation (daily and annual), and the LCOE of the plant.
After multiple iterations to achieve the same capacity factor of the Riyadh plant which is 79% the solar multiple is 3.5 with an LCOE of 0.137 $/kWh. This is a rather strong contrast to the Riyadh case which required a solar multiple of 6 and is attributed to the high DNI in Tabuk versus Riyadh. Fig. 14. Case 1: Tabuk baseline CSP-PT SM = 3.5.
Solar energy has the potential to provide most of the electricity needed by mankind sustainably into the indefinite future. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) has conventionally been considered more applicable than photovoltaic (PV) for baseload power since thermal storage is far cheaper than battery storage.
