Abstract

For 2030, Spain has set ambitious targets for increasing intermittent renewable electricity generation. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants have the capability of store solar energy during operation allowing a reduction of the external support to renewable generation to cover the demand. A model has been developed for the estimation of the impact of a CSP deployment by substituting the targeted solar photovoltaic generation in the country. The results indicate that biomass can play a role in the extension of energy storage in CSP plants and providing the residual external support needed to balance the demand.
