Abstract

Integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) systems coupled with direct steam generation (DSG) are more promising in terms of system efficiency and electricity cost than current solar-only power generation systems, as ISCC–DSG offers the advantages of higher net thermal efficiency and lower cost. However, the ISCC systems usually have to be operated at part-load conditions with low system efficiency when no or lower insolation than that at design point is available as most of state-of-the-art such systems have no thermal storage equipped. In order to improve system performance and prolong the system full-load operation hours, a proper solar field size represented as the solar multiple is a prime parameter to be determined during the design stage of the ISCC system. A too large solar multiple might cause the collected solar thermal energy to become partially useless without thermal storage and high investment cost, while a smaller one might worsen the part-load performance of the system.
