Database. Market uptake of concentrating solar power in Europe: model-based analysis of drivers and policy trade-offs. Deliverable 8.3 MUSTEC project

This document describes the data underlying the modelling works for Deliverable 8.2 Market uptake of concentrating solar power in Europe: model-based analysis of drivers and policy trade-offs (Resch et al., 2020). They were conducted using the Green-X model (TU Wien) and the Enertile model (Fraunhofer ISI). Sufficiently high climate ambitions are another enabler of CSP development, because they hinder the use of fossil power plants as a backup of fluctuating renewables and supply of electricity demand exceeding the realizable potential of other renewables. Hence, CSP with its additional advantage of dispatchability becomes more important under such conditions.
