Abstract
Techno-Economic Assessment of Concentrating Solar Power and Wind Hybridization in Jordan
Highlights
Increased penetration of renewable energy occurs during the periods of high availability of solar sources
Hybridization of CSP with wind technologies combines the low cost of electricity generation of wind and relatively cheap thermal energy storage option by CSP Plants
The main objective of this study is to introduce a real CSP-Wind scenario for the current weather and market conditions in Jordan
Summary
Increased penetration of renewable energy occurs during the periods of high availability of solar sources. The economic limit on the penetration of such renewable sources occurs depending on the grid flexibility. The concentrated solar power with thermal energy storage system is an important option for both the flexibility of the grid and the energy storage systems. It constitutes a relatively cheap energy storage system compared to other storage technologies. Wind as an energy source is considered as relatively low cost.
