The cost-competitiveness of concentrated solar power with thermal energy storage in power systems with high solar penetration levels

In this paper, we show that concentrated solar power (CSP) with thermal storage is an economically attractive technology to achieve high solar penetration levels. To this end, we utilize an alternative framework of net levelized cost of electricity (net-LCOE), which captures the projected curtailment rate, to economically compare PV with batteries to CSP in power …
