As various types of renewable energy power generation technologies continue to mature, the proportion of renewable energy installed capacity increases significantly, and power supply structure is continuously optimized. As a kind of renewable resource, concentrating solar power (CSP) has flexible power regulation ability and good complementary power generation benefits with other power sources, but its high cost become the main factor restricting its development. Firstly, based on the external characteristics of CSP for power planning, the paper proposes an individual optimal configuration method for CSP to achieve its optimal individual economy. On this basis, the complementary characteristics of CSP and other types of power sources are further analyzed, and, comprehensively considering the proportion of renewable energy generation in area and tie-line delivery demand, a capacity optimization configuration model of hybrid power system is established to maximize the complementary benefits of system. Finally, rationality and feasibility of the proposed method are verified based on an improved example.
