Abstract
- The objective of this paper is the evaluation of trends when a power-to-heat system with electrical heaters is integrated to a molten salt solar tower to additionally charge the thermal energy storage system and to expand the capacity of the CSP plant. Therefore a techno-economic analysis was carried out considering several economical and technical boundary conditions. The results show a significant impact on the availability of excess electricity and its cost. Depending on system layout and the cost of the used electricity the overall LCOE of such plants can be reduced by up to 25%. Therefore such power-to-heat systems can offer an economic and strategic benefit to solar thermal power plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
