During discharge of the TES-CFPP system, the heat stored in the molten salt enters the turbine system, thereby generating more output power. As shown in Fig. 3, the DEA outlet feed water was partially diverted to MSH2 for heat exchange with the molten salt flowing from the hot tank (HT), and the cooled molten salt entered the cold tank (CT)
The storage capacity was defined to be 22 MW h, which corresponds to a 2 h operation at nominal WG power. In the first simulations, the reservoir at the initial and final periods is considered empty. The pump cost was considered to be a low value, representing in this way only the operational internal cost.
