title = "System-level simulation of a novel solar power tower plant based on a sodium receiver, PCM storage and sCO2 power block",
abstract = "In this work, we explore for the first time the viability and the annual performance of a solar plant which combines a sodium receiver, phase-change material (PCM) storage and supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power block. The simulation results suggest that the system is thermodynamically and economically viable, reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) compared with a conventional CST plant based on molten salts. The paper presents a new dynamic model of the novel plant configuration which is used for performing a storage sizing study obtaining the best plant investment.",
