Solar Tower Power Plant was created by y.ennassiri
Hi !

I'm modeling Solar Tower Power Plant (molten salt), and I would like to know if and how can I make the plant produce electricity during the night, and store it through Thermal Energy Storage (TES) for a period in the day ?

Kind regards

Hello,

SAM's Molten Salt Power Tower model includes a thermal energy storage (TES) option. For an introduction to the model please see the "Modeling Power Tower Systems in SAM 2017.1.17" webinar recording:
