I am simulating a linear fresnel molten salt with storage (same HTF and TES fluid) and the turbine dispatch is not that one that I would like to get. At the end of the day, the power output decreases with the deacreasing of the solar resource and, only after a significant decrease of the power, the energy from TES is used to dispatch the turbine (Fig 1). I am using a uniform dispatch, with storage dispatch fractions equal to zero, and a unitary turbine fraction .
I simulated a molten salt Tower plant, with similar parameters, and I get the results as expected, that means, the stored energy is used just in time when the solar resource starts deacreasing (Fig 2). I would like to know if it is possible to get a similar behaviour for the linear fresnel molten salt plant.
