Abstract :
The aim of this work is to investigate the potential application of a CSP plant to the supply of residential users. In particular, according to an early statistic estimation of solar radiation on the sun-tracking surface, electricity production is assessed. Potentials for supply of a residential electricity load are analyzed in the presence of suitable energy storage device, aiming to optimize operation costs.
