Cost of Energy and NREL CA Solar Benefits Value of Dispatchability 10 percent capacity factor and the trough plant with storage provides intermediate service with a 40 percent capacity factor. The CSP plants are not competitive with the combined cycle plant in the early years, but become more so in the 2015 timeframe. At a levelized gas price of $8/MMBtu, which is the MPR forecast for 2015, the combined cycle plant, at a capacity factor of 40 percent, has a levelized cost of $119/MWh. This is roughly equivalent to the $115/MWh of the CSP plant in 2015, with the permanent 10 percent ITC. 6.3 The Time of Delivery Value of CSP Energy This section discusses the value provided by thermal storage integrated with the proxy parabolic trough CSP plant. Conceptually, thermal storage allows the plant to store energy generated during lower power demand periods and deliver this energy during high-demand hours (see Figure 6-1). Thermal storage, along with an enlarged solar field, also allows the CSP plant to operate at a higher annual capacity factor, about 40 percent with 6 hours of storage versus 28 percent for no storage. This gives the plant the ability to generate higher revenues to off-set the additional cost of the storage system. The levelized costs in Table 6-2 reveal this, as the trough plant with 6 hours of storage and without storage have roughly the same cost of energy ($157/MWh vs. $154/MWh).
