| Abstract | Successful deployment of large amounts of renewable solar and wind energy has created a pressing need for significant additions of grid connected energy storage. Excess renewable generation is increasingly necessitating curtailment or derating of renewable or conventional generators. The CAISO Duck Curve [8] illustrates the challenge caused by very large quantities of solar generation. Both large scale energy storage and flexible ramping are needed for renewable resources to be financially sustainable and to meet CO2 reduction goals. The Dispatchable Solar Combined Cycle (DSCC) integrates Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) with Thermal Energy Storage (TES) in a holistic combined cycle configuration to meet the challenges of the CAISO Duck Curve by delivering flexible capacity with dispatchable solar power. Energy cost from DSCC is comparable to that from a Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP), and substantially below the alternatives: Photovoltaic plus battery or Photovoltaic plus combustion turbine. DSCC also enable far higher integration of renewable power and far larger renewable capacity factors than the Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC), which typically has no storage. The innovative DSCC system: • uses energy storage to deliver power when it is most valuable, • increases the capacity factor to deliver more renewable energy, • improves the power plant Heat Rate to reduce fuel consumption, and • reduces the cost of power while addressing RPS and storage mandates. In DSCC, the CSP and TES are used primarily for latent heat: the evaporation of steam, and the Combustion Turbine (CT) exhaust gas is used primarily for sensible heating, especially superheating steam. This simplifies the integration of low-cost storage media, such as paraffinic oils or concrete, instead of molten salt, since high temperature storage is not needed. A single pressure, non-reheat steam cycle suitable, allowing for simplicity of design and operation, reducing costs and facilitating faster startup and ramping. With DSCC, the steam turbine generates about the same power as the CT, unlike a typical CCPP where about half the power comes from the steam cycle. The additional steam production reduces the Heat Rate about 25% compared to CCPP. The DSCC approach is ideally suited for repowering existing CSP plants, to provide firm capacity that can dispatch at valuable evening peak periods, increase the power output, and reduce fossil fuel use compared with conventional CCPP or peaking plants. This paper will outline the DSCC concept, and provide performance estimates for a reference plant. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
