Hybrid fossil-solar power cycles possess high solar-to-electric conversion efficiency and the potential to provide stable power output without the need for costly storage systems. However, the power output of the concentrating solar power (CSP) component of the plant can fluctuate in sync with intermittent direct normal irradiance (DNI). For hybrid plants, the controllable fossil-fuel unit can be...
