Assessment of a numbering-up approach for a 100 MWe third generation sodium-salt Concentrated Solar Power system

This work presents the design and techno-economic analysis of a 100 MWe concentrated solar power (CSP) system using a supercritical CO2 power block with 700 °C input temperature. Aiming to leverage the relatively higher efficiency of small heliostat fields and potential multi-build discounts, a numbering-up approach is examined, developing four alternative configurations (1×100, 2×50, 3×33, …
