Assessment of Dispatch Scenarios for a Multi-Tower Concentrating Solar Power Plant in a Renewable Energy Community

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

This work proposes an original methodology for designing and selecting operational scenarios a Concentrating Solar Tower (CST) plant that provides electricity to Renewable Energy Community (REC) in Southern Italy. The CST system incorporates closed-cycle unfired micro gas turbine thermal energy storage. study considered real electric datasets residential district end-users prices within the Italian regulatory framework. Dynamic operation of power was simulated, Levelized Cost Electricity (LCOE) evaluated across fifty-six different layouts identify optimal configuration with lowest value. Fifteen dispatch scenarios, including mix Demand Following, Ancillary Services (tertiary reserve regulation), simple Sales, were investigated. best arrangement identified as multi-tower system, wherein number single-unit CSTs set meet nameplate required by REC. optimum layout consisted three plants, total peak 1.05 MWe storage capacity 26 MWhth, exhibited LCOE 12.42 c€ kWh-1. most suitable scenario such involved providing during evening, which would yield approximately 430 k€ net profit.

Dual First and Second Surface Solar Mirrors of Polished WS2 and Silver by Dynamical Chemical Plating Technique on Polycarbonate

Polymers, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(13), С. 1951 - 1951

Опубликована: Июль 8, 2024

This work proposes for the first time protecting–reflecting on both sides of plated mirrors and a solution to polycarbonate surface vulnerability weathering scratching using tungsten disulfide (WS2) by mechanical polishing. The ability dynamic chemical plating (DCP) technique deposit Ag films at nanometer scale (PC) substrate its characteristics be metallized is also shown. These deposits hold significant promise concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. Complementarily, application WS2 as reflective film CSP polishing smooth surfaces novel practical. innovative scalable without needing reactants or electrical potential, making it highly applicable in real-world scenarios, including, potentially, on-site maintenance. effects morphology adhesion, reflectivity parameters silver metallic were investigated. Wettability was investigated because important polymeric activation metal deposition immediately after redox reactions. flame improved wettability modifying with carbonyl carboxyl functional groups, PC among few industrial polymers that resisted such part process. change composition, roughness, effectively adhesion between substrate. However, did not significantly affect showed possible implementation mirror. Overall, this provides scalable, method improving durability polycarbonate-based mirrors, implications
