A parametric analysis was carried out to determine the optimum solar field size for each TES capacity and heat exchanger configuration (LMTD).

Using the optimum solar field size for each case, Figure 3 shows the levelized energy cost for each heat exchanger/TES design for different storage capacities. The optimum TES heat exchanger LMTD is highlighted for each storage capacity. Adding thermal storage clearly reduces the LCOE. Larger TES capacities are optimized with lower LMTDs. To help in understanding these results, it can be instructive to look at more detailed design and performance results from the model. Table 7 shows a summary of the optimized designs for the no-storage case and the 6-hour thermal storage case. The plant with storage has a larger solar field. The optimum heat exchanger LMTD is 7°C. The capital cost of the plant with 6 hours of TES is 54% higher, but it produces 62% more energy and has a lower O&M cost per kilowatt-hour generated. The resulting cost of energy is 10% lower with 6 hours of storage. 600,000 Table 5 Capital Cost Assumptions (50 MWe, 6 hrs TES) 6 LCOE, $/kWh
