Overview

Randomized trial evaluates a solar tower plant's performance in Gaziantep, suggesting optimal design parameters.

Key Points

  • The aim is to design and assess a 50 MW solar tower power plant optimized for performance and economic feasibility in Gaziantep.
  • Integrated analytical-numerical workflow for plant configuration and simulation using SolarPILOT and SAM.
  • Preliminary design validated against the Gemasolar solar tower plant data.
  • Sensitivity analysis on CAPEX and economic drivers for optimal design configurations.
  • Annual net electricity generation of 212.79 GWh with a capacity factor of 48.6%.
  • Optimal design leads to an overall efficiency of 18.01% and LCOE of 13.35 ¢USD/kWh-e.
  • Moderate reduction in heliostat count decreases CAPEX but increases LCOE and reduces efficiency.
