A Performance Forecasting Framework for Concentrating Solar Power Systems

Alex Zolan, Jeremy Sment, Chad Augustine, Guangdong Zhu

Research output: NRELPresentation

Abstract

This presentation will summarize a methodology used to characterize the uncertainty in performance of a contrived CSP project. As well as develop a case study in which we backcast the projected and actual annual performance of an existing plant. Finally will highlight the importance of several assumptions and the use of time series inputs in obtaining realistic estimates.
