New feature: Concentrated Solar Power
The global decarbonization target to control temperature increase and other climate-related events will require the adoption of different
electricity production technologies, such as Concentrated Solar Power plants (CSP), that can be deployed in areas with high direct solar irradiance.
CSP uses a field of concentrating mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a receiver that heats a fluid stored in thermally insulated tanks.
This fluid generates vapor to drive a turbine to produce electricity.
Optimal stochastic dispatch
SDDP represents CSPs generation, storage and heat transfer limits in hourly time steps. Solar irradiance scenarios can be imported directly or generated via Time Series Lab (TSL).
Detailed representation with hourly resolution
All relevant CSP operation dynamics represented chronologically over hours: stochastic resource availability, heating & storage, generation, etc.
Co-optimize generation, storage, and reserve
System and/or local reserve requirements are optimized integrated to CSP's resource management.
Optimal investment analysis
OptGen evaluates investment decisions of CSP projects, considering governmental energy policies, financial & environmental constraints. More details in OptGen's folder.
Integrated scenario generation
SDDP integrates with Time Series Lab (TSL), a modeling tool that creates scenarios of energy production for Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) that can be used in energy planning activities. TSL 2.0 models the CSP's solar field through optical efficiency tables to accurately represent its power generation.
Automatic integration with global reanalysis database
Time Series Lab is connected to PSR servers where MERRA2 and ERA5 reanalysis databases are stored.
Renewable scenario generation
Generates future VRE scenarios that are serially and spatially correlated with hydro inflows.
Shared data base
SDDP and TSL use the same database, which provides seamless integration of both tools.
Advanced visualization and processing tools
SDDP produces more than 450 detailed reports, including CSP's generation, charge/discharge, storage, marginal costs, and reserve provided for each time step and scenario simulated.
