Two frequently cited options that combine VRE generation with short-term storage are solar PV with battery storage and concentrated solar power (CSP) with thermal energy storage (TES). Despite decades of commercial usage, the cost of CSP generation remains high compared to solar PV generation, which has been experiencing substantial

Projections, such as the reference scenario for 2050, shed light on this urgency. If we follow our current trajectory without significant changes, energy-related CO 2 emissions are expected to witness an increase of 6% - rising from 32 Gt in 2020 to 37 Gt by 2050, as visualized in figure 1 [69].This direction stands in stark contrast to the requisite

The distribution network requires additional flexibility to cope with the large-scale integration of distributed energy sources. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) can smooth the fluctuating output of renewable energy. However, due to high investment and maintenance costs, equipping multiple ESS units within a single system is not practical. To address these
