Abstract

Integrating solar receivers and thermal energy storage in a concentrating solar thermal plant helps to enhance plant efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Here, we provide an overview of the technology to unify solar receivers and thermal energy storage into a single system. We discuss the advantages, challenges, and prospects associated with this innovative approach. This emerging technology has the potential to improve overall thermal performance and facilitate operation of high-temperature dispatchable concentrating solar thermal systems.
