Concentrated solar power (CSP) uses mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight into a receiver, before converting it into heat to power engines that generate electricity. Small-scale CSP plants, generating tens or hundreds of kilowatts of electricity, could be ideal for homes, small remote businesses or even developing countries.
Many efforts have been spent in the design and development of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plants worldwide. Most of them are for on-grid electricity generation and they are medium or large plants (in the order of MWs) which can benefit from the economies of scale.
The EU-funded POLYPHEM project prototyped most of the components necessary for a small-scale solar plant, with some now ready for commercial development. Numerical modelling tools for optimising plant design and assessing performance were also developed.
When future cost trends are considered, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants are projected to remain with a higher LCOE compared to PV . Furthermore, CSP lags PV in terms of experience and modularity as well as construction speed for large scale systems.
CSP systems out-compete PV-battery in regions with high solar resource. A dynamic, techno-economic model of a small-scale, 31.5 kW e concentrated solar power (CSP) plant with a dish collector, two-tank molten salt storage, and a sCO 2 power block is analysed in this study.
Most of them are for on-grid electricity generation and they are medium or large plants (in the order of MWs) which can benefit from the economies of scale. Nevertheless, several potential applications for Small-Scale CSP plants (< 1 MW) can be relevant in the industrial sector as well as for off-grid purposes (i.e. in rural contexts).
