In the context of ORC-based solar systems, two configurations are possible: the direct steam generation (direct solar organic Rankine cycle system or DSOS), that is, utilizing the solar collectors as evaporators in the ORC; and the indirect generation (indirect solar organic Rankine cycle system or ISOS), in which there is the interposition of a heat exchanger
According to the working temperature of solar energy utilization system, it can be divided into three types: low-temperature heat utilization (﹤100 o C), mid-temperature heat utilization (100
By comparison, concentrated solar power (CSP) exhibits similarly low or even lower efficiencies (∼15% for solar thermal power generation systems with a central tower receiver concentrator [7]) because significant losses (i.e., irreversibilities) typically occur during capture (e.g., from sunlight to heat), transport (e.g., with heat transfer fluid), and conversion (e.g., from

Unlike PV power generation, solar thermal power plants integrate thermal energy storage (TES) technologies to address the intermittent nature of PV power output. Heat absorbed by the thermal storage medium is partly used for heat exchange to drive steam turbines, while the remainder is stored, ensuring stable, continuous power generation during day-night cycles.
The regulation capacity of concentrating solar power (CSP)plants can rival that of conventional thermal units. CSP plants can participate in peak load and frequency regulations timely and deeply, which improves the flexibility of the power system. Thus,CSP is a promising renewable energy generation technology. Based on
