    Hello. Anyone knows how can I model Solar CSP plant that has TES- do I have to model the 2 processes separately- the CSP plant, then the storage?

    Regards,
    Valentine

    Dear Valentine,

    I have not used the storage feature by myself, but there is functionality to add storage in LEAP, but it works only with optimization model using NEMO.
    Please refer to LEAP help files regarding optimization available here.

    Best,

    Dear Utsav,

    Thanks for your response. I am using NEMO and will peruse the help files in case I missed something. With the element of cost in mind, not sure how to link the CSP plant to the storage component so they can be dispatched together.

    Any ideas are welcome.

    Regards,
    Valentine
