Thermal Energy Storage Systems for Concentrated Solar Power Plants

Author(s) Jaymin Pareshkumar Shah
Country India
Abstract TES systems function as essential components that improve the performance and dependability of concentrated solar power plants. The demand for renewable energy sources has made TES integration within CSP facilities a viable solution to stabilize solar energy availability. The research examines the existing thermal energy storage methods used in concentration solar power facilities by investigating system design elements, operational capabilities, and performance metrics. This research aims to discover ways to enhance CSP energy storage solutions through TES technology assessment, ultimately driving solar energy progress.
This research identifies the types of sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical storage systems as the primary thermal energy storage systems. Sensible heat storage, implemented through water and molten salts and concrete,is a widespread TES technology in CSP facilities because of its essential operation and affordable costs. Future CSP designs will benefit from latent heat storage methods utilizing phase change materials (PCMs) because these systems provide higher energy density and enhanced thermal efficiency. Although still experimental, thermochemical storage promises significant energy storage capacity and efficiency advancements through reversible chemical reactions. This paper investigates the operational methods these systems use regarding CSP facility integration and the effects on plant operational performance.The research evaluates the financial feasibility and the environmental implications of thermal energy storage systems when integrated into CSP plants. The paper examines solar power plant sustainability by evaluating both TES technology life cycle expenses and emission reduction potential. Thermal energy storage optimization strengthens concentrated solar power reliability and advances the sustainable energy transition for the future. This study is a necessary foundation that benefits teams working on solar technologies through research institutions, government departments, and private engineering groups.
