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.
