Abstract

ABSTRACT
According to the need to a renewable energy source for electric power generation to fit the required loud curve in the isolated Toshka area near Aswan, it is proposed to install a similar power plant as PS10 of Spain with a modified storage system. PS10 is a commercial CSP of 11MW power that has available analysis in literature. In this study, we compare the performance of the PS10 with a modified storage system when operated in Spain and its performance with the same storage system when operated in Aswan. The introduced storage system has two tanks of suitable molten salts. Such solution is found very promising to accommodate the life in arid zones in Aswan for the whole day-hours. The comparison shows also valuable advantages of selecting Aswan to operate such system in comparison to Spain
