The storage of electrical energy has become an inevitable component in the modern hybrid power network due to the large-scale deployment of renewable energy resources (RERs) and electric vehicles (EVs) [1, 2].This energy storage (ES) can solve several operational problems in power networks due to intermittent characteristics of the RERs and EVs
1. Introduction. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) electricity generation systems without storage or a dispatchable auxiliary energy source, may not satisfy grid power demands due to variations in solar energy intensity (i.e., day/night cycles and lower irradiation in winter) [1] nsequentially, this adversely affects the economic viability [2];
