Therefore, a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant equipped with an electric heater (EH) is implemented to join the peak regulation, and the joint peak regulation strategy between thermal power units (TPUs) and a CSP plant is proposed. Firstly, the peak regulation principle of a CSP plant with EH is analyzed in detail.
A concentrating solar power (CSP) plant with a high-capacity thermal storage system (TES) is a utilization form of solar energy (Zhang et al., 2022). TES can store heat energy efficiently. The photoelectric decoupling characteristics provide the CSP plant with the capacity to control the output.
The main control objectives in PV systems are maximum power and power quality. But, considering the growth of PV systems and other renewable energies connected to power grid, current grid codes are adapting new impositions to mandate that distributed energy resources have specific grid support functions.
The development and implementation of control laws for stable operation of PV systems has been possible thanks to the integration of different disciplines such as control theory, power electronics, electrical power systems, communications, embedded hardware, software and data processing.
ISCC plants effectively help integrating solar power into the grid by circumventing the non-dispatchability of the CSP and providing reductions of operating and capital costs, and the possibility of increased operational flexibility when compared to a standalone NGCC.
Both types of solar power plants have several components, such as collectors, receivers, inverters, batteries, turbines, engines, generators, switches, meters, and cables. The layout and operation of solar power plants depend on several factors, such as site conditions, system size, design objectives, and grid requirements.
