Does a direct steam generation solar power plant have integrated thermal storage?

A direct steam generation solar power plant with integrated thermal storage. J. Solar Energy Eng. Transac. 132, 0310141–0310145. doi: 10.1115/1.4001563 Birnbaum, J., Feldhoff, J. F., Fichtner, M., Hirsch, T., Jöcker, M., Pitz-Paal, R., et al. (2011). Steam temperature stability in a direct steam generation solar power plant.

Can direct steam generation concentrating solar power plants use water as heat transfer fluid?

Direct steam generation (DSG) concentrating solar power (CSP) plants uses water as heat transfer fluid, and it is a technology available today. It has many advantages, but its deployment is limited due to the lack of an adequate long-term thermal energy storage (TES) system. This paper presents a new TES concept for DSG CSP plants.

How does a combined heat storage system work in a DSG power plant?

General design of the combined storage system for a 50 MWel DSG power plant The integration of a combined latent and sensible heat storage system in a DSG solar power plant was analyzed by Birnbaum (2010). The combined system consists of the preheating, evaporation/condensation and the superheating module.

Is DSG a direct energy storage method?

For DSG, this is a direct energy storage method because the energy is stored directly in the HTF (water). Additional heating can be done by means of a solar field, or by means of a secondary thermal energy storage medium.
