PROJECT TITLE :

Reliable integration of a concentrating solar power plant in a small isolated system through an appropriately sized battery energy storage system

ABSTRACT:

This study details a comprehensive storage-sizing methodology to allow a concentrating solar power plant to reliably integrate in the Cyprus Power System that is assessed as tiny and isolated. The necessity for providing a storage solution arises from the fact that enormous quantities of renewable energy sources may impose sure challenges on how isolated systems operate. Developing solutions to these challenges can enable higher penetrations of renewable generation sources on such systems and the long run growth of renewable energy. To this extent, the methodology described in this study pertains to clear and specific steps needed to produce sufficient proof toward the reliable integration of a large-scale solar-dependent plant through an appropriately sized battery energy storage system.
