... covered the possibility and benefits of integrating such systems with either electric or thermal storage systems. Unlike conventional power plants, absorption CCP systems can be operated with low- and medium-grade thermal energy sources. Consequently, if an absorption cogeneration system is operated...

...Gregory J. Kolb A study was performed to compare the annual performance of 50 MW e Andasol-like trough plants that employ either a 2-tank or a thermocline-type molten-salt thermal storage system. trnsys software was used to create the plant models and to perform the annual simulations. The annual...
