Indirect power cycles integration in concentrated solar power plants with thermochemical energy storage based on calcium hydroxide technology

Thermochemical energy storage is attracting interest as a relevant alternative energy storage system in concentrating solar power plants. Efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly thermal energy storage is one of the main challenges for the large-scale deployment of solar energy. The reversi...
