Multi-objective optimisation of a thermal-storage PV- Concentrated Solar Power -wind energy hybrid power system in three operation modes

The hybrid renewable energy system based on concentrated solar power (CSP) technology has been demonstrated as a promising approach to utilise renewable energy. To combine the configuration and operation with practical application scenarios, this study investigates three different operation modes of the hybrid system which consists of one or more components of a CSP power …

Concentrated Solar Power, renewable and storage, by Luis Crespo (Protermosolar)

Who has said that renewables will always need the support of fossil or nuclear technologies to provide the supply? It is true that the cheapest and most widespread technologies in Spain, such as wind energy and photovoltaic, do not have storage in centralized facilities (wind farms and photovoltaic plants) and that add some hour of …
