FAQS 4

Why do solar power plants need to be dispatchable?

It is found that increasing the dispatchability of solar power plants will necessarily lead to the emergence of additional energy losses and important LCOE increase, either because of low round-trip efficiency of the storage system, or because of its high cost of energy capacity.

How can solar power be delivered at a low cost?

The combination of conventional PV modules together with thermal energy-based storage systems appears as the most affordable strategy to achieve high dispatchability of solar electricity at low cost.

What are energy storage technologies?

Energy storage technologies, store energy either as electricity or heat/cold, so it can be used at a later time. With the growth in electric vehicle sales, battery storage costs have fallen rapidly due to economies of scale and technology improvements.

How do you calculate the dispatch efficiency of a solar plant?

The dispatch efficiency can be written: (Equation 4) η d p (P L, S) = E (P L, S) ∑ i = 1 8760 P L (t) Δ t s t e p where P L (t) refers to the electrical load imposed to the solar plant. High values of the dispatch efficiency are requested to guarantee a satisfaction of the load throughout the year.
