We assess the storage capacity of a solar thermal plant needed to achieve a given probability of avoiding an unscheduled reduction in output throughout the year, due to the variability of the solar resource. To our knowledge, this is the first time such an assessment has been reported. The majority of cases are assessed for the reference case of a constant output at full load, although a limited assessment...
This paper assesses the influence on the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of the design wind speed at which heliostats in concentrating solar thermal (CST) power tower (PT) plants are stowed. Lowering the design wind speed for parking heliostats in the stow position reduces the cost of the heliostat field at the expense of a reduction in the energy harvested. However, both influences are highly...
