Thermal energy storage can provide cost-effective benefits for different commercial fields
because it allows heat recycling for use, such as in concentrated solar power plants or …

This paper surveys economic assessments of concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies
and finds two dominant assessment methods. A majority of studies reported in the literature …

To alleviate the negative influence caused by curtailment of renewable energy resulting from
the “power determined by heat” of CHP, recent studies have proposed hybrid concentrated …

Distributed energy resources within local energy systems can be reorganized into a single
entity, namely, into an integrated community energy system. This integration provides …

A central concentrating solar power (CSP) plant is increasing in the power systems as novel
technology in the solar energy sources. Also, solar thermal storage unit is combined with the …

Component capacity and energy management strategy are two key issues for the optimal
sizing of a hybrid renewable energy system. In this study, a two-stage stochastic …

In a liberalized electricity market, an important and major task of System Operator (SO) is to
support the transactions of power and to match required demand-supply balance. To …

The recent trend in high penetration of renewable energy will lead to a significant mix of
renewable technologies in the future power industry portfolio. One important inconvenience …

The concentrating solar power plants (CSP) have well potential in coordinating with the ever-
increasing wind energy during power scheduling. However, the existing studies individually …

This paper presents a new hybrid system to reduce wind curtailment and improve
scheduling flexibility. This hybrid system includes a wind farm, a concentrated solar power …
