Abstract

See full text

A solar hybrid power plant comprises a combustion turbine generator, a steam power system, a solar thermal system, and an energy storage system. Heat from the solar thermal system, from the energy storage system, or from the solar thermal system and the energy storage system is used to generate steam in the steam power system. Heat from the combustion turbine generator exhaust gas may be used primarily for single phase heating of water or steam in the steam power system. Alternatively, heat from the combustion turbine generator exhaust gas may be used in parallel with the energy storage system and/or the solar thermal system to generate steam, and additionally to super heat steam. Both the combustion turbine generator and the steam power system may generate electricity.
