“…The [27] presented their analysis on techno-economic analysis of a hybrid PV-CSP system with thermal energy storage applied to isolated microgrids. The results show that, for the case study, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for the PV-CSP hybrid system is 0.524 USD/kWh, only 2% higher than the LCOE for the PV-Battery, 0.51 USD/kWh.…”

Solar and Wind energy is available in plenty in the country like India.Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Wind is the indirect form of solar energy and is always being replenished by the sun. Wind energy is the kinetic energy of air in motion also called wind.Technical potential of onshore wind energy is large. CSP technology with thermal storage having potential to replace the conventional thermal power plant.Advantage of CSP technology is that thermal storage technology is easily integrated with the CSP technology in compare with the photovoltaic and wind power technology. When the PV is hybridized with Wind it does not meet the satisfactory performance. PV and Wind power generation technologies not suitable at grid level due to intermittency in the availability of sun and wind. Hybridization of PV with CSP is the option to sole the intermittency problem and provide the energy at grid level. The research status of PV-CSP hybrid technology for its performance is summarized from the study made in this paper to provide a current global scenario, but it is observed that for economic and efficient power generation with the effective proportions of integrated PV-CSP hybrid systems that are yet to be researched.

“…Nevertheless, the implementations on non-interconnected zones can be expensive, without advantages, logistically difficult, requiring extensive development times, and affecting the community from several socio-economic and environmental perspectives [1][2][3]. This is due to the absence of analyses of these variables that could compromise the innovation and sustainability of these solutions [4].…”

“…The authors emphasize that it is essential to understand the needs of the target community. In [3] a techno-economic analysis on the implementation of hybrid systems is performed. There are challenges in these implementations, but their application is becoming more achievable due to progress in their infrastructure and cost decreases.…”

Approach to an Emulation Model to Evaluate the Behavior and Impact of Microgrids in Isolated Communities

In microgrid projects, social ownership involves aspects beyond their operation that may compromise the sustainability of the system. For this reason, the development of analysis methods to assess the feasibility and impact during the design stages of these solutions is of growing interest. Recent studies have proposed methods that allow an individual analysis of technological components and social behaviors. However, a complete evaluation of the performance and the impact of these projects should allow the simultaneous evaluation of the behavior of these subsystems, allowing the analysis of their interactions and effects in a dynamic way. Accordingly, this paper presents simulation and emulation models to evaluate the impact of a microgrid in isolated communities. These models contemplate sublevels that consider the energetic, automation and computational aspects in the microgrids and a multi-agent system (MAS) that is used to study the environmental and economic impact of the microgrid through the evolution of certain indicators. The socio-technological interdependence in the operation of the isolated microgrid is analyzed through the integration of the microgrid emulation platform with the MAS. Our approach includes a comprehensive study of the performance of these projects in specific communities, in order to contribute to the design and implementation, considering the technological, economic, environmental, and social impacts.

“…Energy generation can also be done using hybrid plants that combine different energy sources to produce electricity. These combinations may be PV-CSP that use uniquely solar power and whose profitability has been proven, as mentioned in reference [11]; or with a thermal plant [12] that increases the energy generated from a fuel and thus the electricity generation of the plant by increasing temperature on the heat exchanger. Installation costs for CSP and PV technologies are expected to decrease in the future, making hybridization more profitable and attractive for investors [13].…”

The global energy production model is changing from fossil fuels to renewable and nuclear energies. Concentrated solar power is one of the growing technologies that is leading this process. This growth implies the sophistication and size of the systems and, therefore, it requires an increase in maintenance tasks to ensure reliability, availability, maintainability and safety. The aim of this paper is to describe the current context of concentrated solar power, to summarise and analyse the main degradation mechanisms and the main techniques to detect, prevent and mitigate these faults. An exhaustive literature study is presented, considering the most advanced techniques and approaches. A novel qualitative and quantitative analysis of the literature is provided. Finally, the current trends and the future challenges in this field are gathered from this study.
