Analysing the benefits of hybridisation and storage in a hybrid solar gas turbine plant

A dynamic model of a tower-driven, hybrid solar gas turbine power plant is presented to highlight the benefits of hybrid operation as well as the development a novel plant configuration to improve solar fraction by leveraging a packed-bed thermal energy storage (TES). Relative to solar-only plant, h...
