Small-scale molten rock solar container power generation

Excess energy from solar power stations and other baseline power production methods can be stored in molten salts (MS) in the 565°C range, therefore allowing the use of large containers to store energy for up to a week and generate eight hours of electricity or. Completed the TES system modeling and two novel changes were recommended (1) use of molten salt as a HTF through the solar trough field, and (2) use the salt to not only create steam but also to preheat the condensed feed water for Rankine cycle. At the end of 2019 the worldwide power generation capacity from molten salt storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants was 21 GWhel. The research presented in this article showcases the significance of dynamic modeling and optimizing an off-peak renewable electricity-driven combined heat and power.
