Performance evaluation of a solar transcritical carbon dioxide Rankine cycle integrated with compressed air energy storage

Solar thermal power generation is a promising technique in renewable energy utilization with the advantages of techno-economic, energy storability, power continuity, and stability. The present paper designed a solar transcritical carbon dioxide Rankine cycle integrated with compressed air energy storage, which could resolve the impact of solar energy intermittence and enhance the technical flexibility in solar thermal power and storage.
