Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Simulations. Two simulations are performed to investigate the TES concept: one with the use of a BFB to store the hot particles during ramp up and down operation and one without TES for comparison.

In parabolic trough technology, the sun´s energy is concentrated by a parabolically curved trough-shaped reflector onto a receiver tube running along the inner side of the collector [20].The energy concentrated in the receiver tube heats a HTF, commonly synthetic oil, that flows through the tube along the trough collector and the
Lead-acid (LA) batteries. LA batteries are the most popular and oldest electrochemical energy storage device (invented in 1859).
