Metal hydrides have become more and more significant both as hydrogen storage devices and as basic elements in energy conversion systems. Besides the well-known rare earth hydrides, magnesium alloys are very promising in the field of thermal energy storage for concentrating solar power plants. There is interest in analysing the performances of such materials in this context; for this purpose, a numerical model to describe hydrogen absorption and desorption processes of a metal hydride has been connected to a model elaborated with the help of Cycle-Tempo software to simulate a CSP plant operation. The integration of this plant with four metal hydride systems, based on the combination of two low-temperature hydrides (LaNi5, LaNi4.8Al0.2) and two high-temperature hydrides (Mg, Mg2Ni) has been studied. The investigation has taken into account CSP overall performances, transfer surfaces and storage efficiencies, to determine the feasibility of designed plants. Results show that the selection of the optimal hydrides must take into account hydride operation temperatures, reaction enthalpies, storage capacities and kinetic compatibility. In the light of the calculated parameters, a solar ORC plant using R134a as the working fluid is a valuable choice if matched to a storage system composed of LaNi5 and Mg2Ni hydrides.
