Abstract

Learning effects in concentrating solar power (CSP) technology have been limited in the past decade due to a low deployment of CSP plants. The technology development suffered mainly from the consequences of a financial and regulatory stagnation in locations with reasonable direct normal irradiance availability as well as from the fast decrease in cost of the competing solar photovoltaic technology. Nevertheless, a learning rate of about 10% can be assumed. The benefit of integrated thermal storage in CSP should be valued in a future fully renewable energy system.
