Solar plant comprising a solar field (2.1, 2.2) producing steam, a turbine using steam and a system (ST1) for storing and retrieving excess steam, the system comprising a heat storage module in the form of latent heat ( 12) and a liquid displacement thermal storage module having a liquid volume (V) and a vapor sky (30), the modules (12, 14) being interconnected so that the vapor produced passes through the vapor sky ( 30) before passing through the latent heat module (12), to condense, to be injected into the liquid volume (V), the lower part (ZF) of the liquid volume (V) being connected to the solar field (2.1) , 2.2) and at the outlet of the turbine to admit or reject cold liquid. The liquid volume (V) functions as a liquid displacement tank. |
