Dispatchability of STP Plants
} Integration of RES on the grid: } Dispatchability is a key factor. } STP Plants have the potential to be dispatchable by:
} Including a Thermal Storage System (TES) } Hybridization with fossil or renewable fuels.

PT Technology today, pros & cons.
} Pros: } Mature technology;
} Comercially proven, over 500 MW installed capacity; } Extensive operational record: 9 plants operating for 15+
years
} Easier to finance
} Cons: } Few manufacturers of key elements (recievers, mirrors…) ->
limited competence } Limited maximum temperature -> limited efficiency } Costly, hazardous HTF } Limited TES options
