dc.description.abstract | This paper provides an assessment of the expected Levelised Cost of Electricity enabled by
Concentrated Solar Power plants based on Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) technology. A global
approach is presented, relying on previous results by the authors in order to ascertain whether these
innovative power cycles have the potential to achieve the very low costs of electricity reported in the
literature. From a previous thermodynamic analysis of sCO2 cycles, three layouts are shortlisted and
their installation costs are compared prior to assessing the corresponding cost of electricity. Amongst
them, the Transcritical layout is then discarded due to the virtually impossible implementation in
locations with high ambient temperature. The remaining layouts, Allam and Partial Cooling are then
modelled and their Levelised Cost of Electricity is calculated for a number of cases and two different
locations in North America. Each case is characterised by a different dispatch control scheme and
set of financial assumptions. A Concentrated Solar Power plant based on steam turbine technology
is also added to the assessment for the sake of comparison. The analysis yields electricity costs
varying in the range from 8 to over 11 g/kWh, which is near but definitely not below the 6 g/kWh
target set forth by different administrations. Nevertheless, in spite of the results, a review of the
conservative assumptions adopted in the analysis suggests that attaining costs substantially lower
than this is very likely. In other words, the results presented in this paper can be taken as an upper
limit of the economic performance attainable by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in Concentrated Solar
Power applications. | es |
