Solar towers with thermal storage for integrated solar combined cycle plants
Hybridization is a low-cost approach to implement power plants worldwide. Generally, integrated solar combined cycle power stations combine the energy harvested from solar radiation with another fuel to cut fuel costs and environmental impact. Several operating plants would qualify for conversion into integrated solar combined cycle ones, and plants in the planning stage should consider this option. The example described below investigates the conversion of a Western Australia power plant into an integrated solar combined cycle plant using a solar tower and thermal storage.

Hybridization is a low-cost approach to implement power plants worldwide. <...> Generally, integrated solar combined
cycle power stations combine the energy harvested from solar radiation with another fuel to cut fuel costs
and environmental impact. <...> Several operating plants would qualify for conversion into integrated solar combined
cycle ones, and plants in the planning stage should consider this option. <...> The example described below investigates
the conversion of a Western Australia power plant into an integrated solar combined cycle plant using a solar tower
and thermal storage. <...> Current global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions aim
to incentivize utility and industrial plant operators to
build renewable and low-carbon intensity generation
assets. <...> Renewable energy technologies, such as
concentrated solar power (CSP), progressed significantly
in the past decade in regard to efficiency and
cost. <...> However, when making investment decisions
without including external costs for fossil fuels or
government incentives for renewable electricity, the
current economic climate favors natural gas-fired open
cycle gas turbines (OCGT) and combined cycle gas turbines
(CCGT) plants when compared to concentrated
solar power installations. <...> To lower the specific investment of CSP systems
and prepare for rising natural gas prices in the future,
existing OCGT and CCGT plants could be retrofitted
and new plants designed with a CSP component. <...> This
would create environmental benefits, such as carbon
intensity reduction, as well as economic benefits, such
as lower investment CSP installations and renewable
energy certificates. <...> Of particular interest is the retrofit of solar towers
to reduce cost and allow independent operation of
CCGT and CSP component. <...> Current ISCC plants use
parabolic trough systems with thermal oil to boost the
steam output of the CCGT’s heat recovery steam
generator (HRSG). <...> Typically,
daytime electricity prices are significantly
higher <...>
