A Dispatch Optimization Model for Hybrid Renewable and Battery Systems Incorporating a Battery Degradation Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A recent increase in the integration of renewable energy systems in existing power grids along with a lack of integrated dispatch models has led to waste in power produced. This paper presents a mixed-integer nonlinear ...
Dynamic Simulation of a Molten Salt-Steam Superheater for Load-Following Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The growing use of intermittent renewables in electrical grids increasingly motivates load-following operations as a crucial capability of dispatchable power plants. However, frequent load variations in steam generation ...
Demonstrating solarpilot’s Python Application Programmable Interface Through Heliostat Optimal Aimpoint Strategy Use Case
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: solarpilot is a software package that generates solar field layouts and characterizes the optical performance of concentrating solar power (CSP) tower systems. solarpilot was developed by the National Renewable Energy ...
Thermodynamic Study of Advanced Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Cycles for Concentrating Solar Power Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) operated in a closedloop Brayton cycle offers the potential of higher cycle efficiency versus superheated or supercritical steam cycles at temperatures relevant for concentrating solar power (CSP) ...
