View moreThe operational principles of thermal energy storage systems are identical as other forms of energy storage methods, as mentioned earlier. A typical thermal energy storage system consists of three sequential processes: charging, storing, and discharging periods.
Thermal energy can generally be stored in two ways: sensible heat storage and latent heat storage. It is also possible to store thermal energy in a combination of sensible and latent, which is called hybrid thermal energy storage. Figure 2.8 shows the branch of thermal energy storage methods.
In 2010, Desrues et al. were the first to present an investigation on a pumped thermal energy storage system for large scale electric applications based on Brayton cycle. The system works as a high temperature heat pump cycle during charging phase. It converts electricity into thermal energy and stores it inside two large man-made tanks.
Energy is stored in sensible thermal energy storage systems by altering the temperature of a storage medium, such as water, air, oil, rock beds, bricks, concrete, sand, or soil. Storage media can be made of one or more materials. It depends on the final and initial temperature difference, mass and specific heat of the storage medium.
The round-trip efficiency of the proposed system can reach as high as 85.17%. Thermal power plants are required to enhance operational flexibility to ensure the power grid stability with the increasing share of intermittent renewable power. Integrating thermal energy storage is a potential solution.
The thermal energy carried by the steam and flue gas should be stored in appropriate proportions under several constraints. Thus, the energy conversion and utilization process of the TES integrated within a thermal power plant should be carefully designed.
