Abstract

Concentrated solar thermal systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a small area. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a heat engine connected to an electrical power generator or powers a thermochemical reaction. This facilities require an energy storage system to be economical, sCO2 power cycles operating at high temperatures have potential to significantly increase the thermal efficiency of a solar power plant and However, currently available energy storage systems are costly and limited to about 500 C. This article provide the solution to overcome the highlighted problems with operation at high temperatures compatible with sCO2 power cycles.
