“…'Termosolar Borges' the only solar biomass hybrid power plant has been in operation which is located in Les Borges Blanques, Lleida, Spain since December 2012 with plant capacity of 22.5 MWe [1][2][3][4]. This hybrid electricity generation unit uses parabolic trough collectors with thermal oil to transfer heat of 400°C to the turbine [5].…”

“…Among 17 different combinations which had been studied previously [4], solar tower (ST) with direct steam generation (DSG) as primary CSP working fluid combining with biomass gasification gave the highest peak net efficiency of 33.2% followed by the combination of solar tower, molten salt (primary CSP working fluid) and gasification with optimum net efficiency 32.9%. Both systems are able to produce 540°C temperature at 130bar steam pressure.…”

“…Concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar PV are used increasingly for electric power generation due to their downward trend in installed costs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, standalone solar energy plants have intermittent energy output due to day/night cycles, reduced irradiation periods during winter, cloudy days and transient clouds [11,15].…”

Abstract:Solar Tower thermal (ST), Parabolic Trough thermal (PT), Linear Fresnel thermal (LF) and Solar PV are discussed in the context of suitability for hybridization with biomass in Europe.Technical, economical and climate data have been compared to identify the key drivers of technology selection in setting up large scale solar-biomass hybrid power plants. The sole solar-biomass hybrid power plant is currently in operation in Spain uses PT technology due to its performance characteristics, comparatively easy installation process compared to ST and relatively higher heat and optical gain than LF. The climate condition in the EU shows that the region within average yearly direct normal irradiance (DNI) 1400 -1800 kWh/m 2 can be useful for CSP hybridization as the distribution periods of high intensity of DNI of solar energy justify integrating biomass. Of the three concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, ST provides the best overall efficiency for combined heat and power (CHP) generation.

Summary The line‐/point‐focus combined scheme for concentrating solar power (CSP) system is proposed. For solar field, the parabolic trough (PT) or linear Fresnel (LF) is used as the line‐focus preheating and evaporation stages while the solar tower is used as the point‐focus superheating and reheating stages. The combined schemes benefit from the high concentration ratio of point‐focus technology and low cost of line‐focus technology. Particularly, the combined scheme guarantees the concentrated solar thermal energy matching the temperature requirement of steam generation process with less exergy loss. Performance and economic assessments have been performed for 50 MWe CSP system with two of the combined schemes, ie, PT (synthetic oil, SO) + Tower (molten salt, MS) and LF (direct steam generation, DSG) + Tower (DSG), as well as existing single schemes being the references, ie, PT (SO), LF (DSG), Tower (MS), and Tower (DSG). The comparative results show that the combined schemes are superior to liner‐focus schemes in efficiency and to point‐focus schemes in capital cost and scalability. Specifically, the PT (SO) + Tower (MS) system suggests the favorable potential in practical application with the highest annual net solar‐to‐electrical energy conversion efficiency of 16.07% and the reasonable levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of 16.121 US cent/(kW·h). This work provides an alternative guidance for future development of the CSP technology.
