Abstract
The rapid increase in the integration of PV system over the past decades is due to its falling cost and advantages. High penetration of solar PV system causes a significant effect on the power quality of the system due to the mismatch between demand patterns and the solar resource. The negative impact of PV penetration on the system limits its high penetration. Therefore, PV itself may represent a new challenge to the electrical system rather than being a part of the solution. Hence, the CSP technology including TES has been aggregated in the system in order to accommodate the required electrical power during the higher and lower solar energy at all timescales. Therefore, this chapter studies the CSP impacts on the penetration level of PV system as well as on the reliability of the system in two cases: the first case is only integration of PV system. The second case by using hybrid PV and CSP systems. The results showed that the performance of CSP technologies has a significant positive impact on the system, which supports the overall flexibility of the system because of its ability to store and send generated energy. In addition, the use of CSP reduces the minimum generation constraint of the conventional generators that allows more penetration of the PV system.
