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.
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.
Noor Midelt 2 – July 2019, MASEN launched prequalification for a hybrid power plant using PV and thermodynamic solar energy (SPC), combined with various thermal or battery storage technologies for 190 MW during peak hours (evening) and 230 MW during the day.

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.
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.
