The integration of renewable energy sources is facilitated by TES because it enables the storage and release of excess clean energy, which improves grid stability. In concentrating solar power plants (CSP), solar molten salt is frequently used since it has some advantages such as good thermal properties.
This study presents a supercritical solar thermal power plant featuring high-temperature molten salt heat storage (200–650 °C) and a novel thermal storage circuit design.
The use of molten salt energy storage in conjunction with a cogeneration unit for peak shaving can effectively reduce the incidence of wind and solar energy curtailment. The multi-steam source energy storage mode is proposed based on the heat transfer characteristics of molten salt.
High-temperature molten salts enable 650 °C storage in solar thermal power plants. Novel dual-loop thermal storage-exchange system (200–650 °C) has been proposed. A 145 MW supercritical solar thermal power plant was analyzed. Novel solar thermal plants achieve 29.43 % photovoltaic conversion efficiency.
