Estimating The Value Of Utility Scale Solar Technologies In California This analysis is follow on work to a previous study of the value of concentrating solar power (csp) with thermal energy storage (tes) in the state of california. as in the previous study, it analyzes the value of both csp tes and utility scale photovoltaics (pv), with the following additions:.

Estimating The Value Of Utility Scale Solar Technologies In Californi Concentrating solar power with thermal energy storage (csp tes) is a unique source of solar energy in that its output can be shifted over time. the ability of csp tes to be a flexible source of generation may be particularly valuable in regions with high overall penetration of solar energy, such as the state of california. The ability of csp tes to be a flexible source of generation may be particularly valuable in regions with high overall penetration of solar energy, such as the state of california. california's renewable portfolio standard (rps) requires the state to increase generation from eligible renewable energy resources to reach 33% of retail electricity. A massive pipeline of more than 1 terawatt of utility scale solar plants dominates the interconnection queues across the country. looking ahead, at least 1,085 gw of solar capacity was in the nation’s interconnection queues at the end of 2023. nearly 571 gw, or 53%, of that total was paired with a battery – in caiso it was a staggering 98%. Compared to 2020, however, solar’s relative value versus a “flat block of power” contracted in 13 of the 17 regions analyzed. 2021 was also a record year for pv battery hybrid plants. adding battery storage to shift a portion of excess mid day solar generation into evening hours is one way to increase the value of solar.
