CSP + PV hybrid solar plants for power and water cogeneration in
The aim of this work is focused to determine as a first approach the upper bounds of a CSP + PV + MED plant integration, in which the PV plant integration targets to enhancing
Therefore, a CSP + PV + MED hybrid solar plant for cogeneration of electricity and freshwater was proposed, considering a CRS system of 100 MWe coupled to a MED plant. The complete plant with its several operation modes was simulated in TRNSYS.
CSP + PV hybrid schemes can match PV low costs with high capacity factor (CF), dispatchability and night generation that offer CSP with TES. The CSP + PV concept has been proposed and analyzed through different approaches. Platzer ( Platzer, 2014) carried out a study of the performance of a hybrid plant using data for Daggett, California.
It consists of a CSP plant co-located with a PV plant. The CSP plant consists on CRS with a nominal capacity of 110 MW, while the PV plant has a capacity of 120.8 MWdc, with modules tilted at latitude angle.
First, the minimum LCOE of the CSP + PV + MED plant is 131.2 USD/MWh which provides an increase of 12.7% compared to the minimum LCOE for a CSP + PV plant, besides the benefit of a freshwater production of about 13.4 MM m 3 /year.
