The hybridization of concentrating solar power (CSP) with thermal energy storage (TES), photovoltaics (PV), and electrochemical battery energy storage systems (BESS) has the potential to provide continuous, high-capacity-factor energy production at a lower cost than a PV-BESS or CSP with TES alone. Because of the system complexity of CSP technology, it is challenging to evaluate the technological and financial performance of a CSP-PV hybrid system without detailed modeling of annual operations. To address this challenge, we have developed a modeling framework for evaluating the performance and financial viability of CSP systems hybridized with PV and BESS technologies. This modeling effort incorporates CSP tower and trough configurations into an existing modeling tool recently developed by NREL, the Hybrid Optimization and Performance Platform (HOPP). This paper provides a brief overview of our methodology, as well as an example case study. CSP with TES hybridized with PV provides the best benefit-to-cost ratio compared to the other simulated technology combinations. However, for the conditions considered, this configuration only increases the benefit-to-cost ratio by about 1% compared to the CSP with TES configuration. The PV-BESS system provides the lowest benefit-to-cost ratio compared to the other configurations explored because of the relatively low capacity credit received by the system.

“…The idea of such systems was first proposed in 1957 [ 1 ]. These plants can be used in combination with other technologies to provide flexibility and better economic benefits to the national grid [ 2 ]. Salient features like thermal energy storage (TES) and equipment sharing are among the vital characteristics of CSP that add to their importance.…”
