Solar Thermal Power Generation Technology
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology offers significant potential for stable and dispatchable renewable electricity generation through integration with thermal energy storage.
This chapter also covers the recent developments in solar thermal technologies for power generation. In recent times, solar thermal technologies are integrated with conventional fossil-fuelled power plants as well as other renewable energy sources such as biomass, geothermal to improve its performance.
The thermal energy storage is employed to reduce the effect of diurnal and seasonal variations in solar radiation on the performance of the solar thermal plant. Additionally, thermal energy storage increases the dispatchability of a solar thermal power generation system.
This report, produced by WSP New Zealand, includes a review and update of information on existing and proposed thermal electricity generation plants in New Zealand. This covers plants running on coal, natural gas, and/or oil products (such as diesel). 2020 Thermal generation stack update report [PDF, 2.5 MB]
Thermal energy storage in power generation Compared to other renewable energy technologies, a significant advantage of concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies is their capacity to integrate with extensive thermal storage systems or hybrid subsystems [48, 49].
