High-temperature solar thermal (HTST), also known as concentrating solar thermal (CST), is a technology used for electrical power generation. HTST power plants are similar to traditional fossil fuel power plants, but they obtain their energy input from the sun instead of from fossil fuels.
Due to the storage tank storing the short-term heat energy on a diurnal basis, the daily average thermal power of solar energy over 24 h during the non-heating season is 1067 kW, and it is 520 kW during the heating season. During the heating season, the artificial reservoir system and solar energy system are combined to provide heat for buildings.
A total of 23.7% of the solar energy is used for photothermal utilization among which thermal energy supplied to the SOEC reactor accounts for 18.4% and the remaining thermal energy, that is, 5.3%, is lost.
Full-spectrum high-temperature water electrolysis enables efficient conversion from solar to hydrogen. However, the supply of electric and thermal energy derived from solar energy does not match the demand for electric and thermal energy in high-temperature water electrolysis, resulting in significant energy losses within the system.
Solar thermal technologies are categorized into three main types: low-temperature, medium-temperature, and high-temperature (HTST) or concentrating solar thermal (CST). High-temperature solar thermal is used for electrical power generation.
Thermal energy storage systems for CSP plants have been investigated since the start of XXI century , . Solar power towers have the potential for storing much more heat than parabolic trough collectors .
