dc.description.abstractThis paper seeks to determine the feasibility of utilizing on-site concentrated solar power plus thermal energy storage to produce energy for electric vehicle charging in Medicine Hat, Alberta. A literature review outlines system specifications to determine the potential viability of a novel concentrated solar power generation technology through an assessment of the solar thermoelectricity via advanced latent heat storage (STEALS) system which utilizes miscibility gap alloys (MGAs) as the thermal energy storage component of the system. A comparative economic analysis that utilized the U.S. National Renewable Energy Lab’s (NREL) System Advisor Model (SAM) to determine the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and resultant feasibility of a project or system, found a solar photovoltaic plus STEALS system to have a lower LCOE than a solar photovoltaic plus battery energy storage system.
