Abstract:
In order to evaluate the feasibility and performance of liquid lead-bismuth eutectic as the heat transfer fluid for thermocline heat storage tanks in solar power systems, we conducted an effect evaluation of filling medium parameters on the integrated operating and mechanical performances of a thermocline tank using liquid lead-bismuth eutectic using the computational fluid dynamics simulation method. Four parameters were evaluated: the porosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and equivalent diameter of the filling medium. The results show that the liquid lead-bismuth eutectic t

Abstract:
Thermal energy storage is of critical importance for the highly-efficient utilization of renewable energy sources. Over the past decades, the single-tank thermocline technology has attracted much attention owing to its high cost-effectiveness. In the present work, we investigate the influence of the filler porosity’s non-uniform distribution on the thermal performance of the packed-bed sensible heat thermocline storage tanks, using the analytical model obtained by the Laplace transform. Our analyses prove that the different porosity distributions can result in the significantly different behav

Abstract:
For the intermittence and instability of solar energy, energy storage can be a good solution in many civil and industrial thermal scenarios. With the advantages of low cost, simple structure, and high efficiency, a single-tank thermal energy storage system is a competitive way of thermal energy storage (TES). In this study, a two-dimensional flow and heat transfer model of a cylindrical storage tank with water as heat transfer fluid (HTF) is developed, in which the effects of time, flow velocity, and height-to-diameter ratio of the tank on the thermocline thickness have been highlighted.

Abstract:
The efficacy of thermal energy storage systems is fundamentally dependent on maintaining thermal stratification within water storage tanks. This study scrutinizes how diffuser design impacts thermal stratification under varying flow rates. Specifically, we evaluate two diffuser models: a holed parallel plate radial diffuser (D-1) and a curved parallel plate radial diffuser (D-2). Utilizing an experimental setup with flow rates ranging from 5 to 8 liters per minute, complemented by Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations, our analysis reveals that the radial diffuser with a curved parallel pla

Economic analyses for concentrated solar power (CSP) systems indicate that the cost of electricity can be reduced through the use a molten-salt thermal energy storage system (TES). Use of a thermocline in the tanks to keep cold and hot fluids separate in the tank has been proposed to further reduce the cost for TES to about $30/kWh thermal. This paper studies the details for molten-salt storage where the tank is filled with nominally 1-inch-size quartzite rocks and 1/4-inch sand particles. These filler materials are envisioned to occupy 75% of the tank’s volume. Experiments at Sandia National

In the United States, concentrating solar power (CSP) is one of the most promising renewable energy (RE) technologies for reduction of electric sector greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and for rapid capacity expansion. It is also one of the most price-competitive RE technologies, thanks in large measure to decades of field experience and consistent improvements in design. One of the key design features that makes CSP more attractive than many other RE technologies, like solar photovoltaics and wind, is the potential for including relatively low-cost and efficient thermal energy storage (TES), whi

Abstract:
The growing interest in large-scale solar power production has led to a renewed exploration of thermal storage technologies. In a thermocline storage system, heat transfer fluid (HTF) from the collection field is simultaneously stored at both excited and dead thermal states inside a single tank. A granulated porous medium included in the tank provides thermal mass for storage and reduces the amount of HTF volume required. While the thermocline offers a low-cost storage option, thermal ratcheting of the tank wall (generated by filler material reorientation from continuous thermal cycling) poses

The primary purpose of a thermal energy storage system in a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant is to extend the operation of plant at times when energy from the sun is not adequate by dispatching its stored energy. Storing sun’s energy in the form of latent thermal energy of a phase change material (PCM) is desirable due to its high energy storage density which translates to less amount of salt required for a given storage capacity. The objective of this paper is to analyze the dynamic behavior of a packed bed encapsulated PCM energy storage subjected to partial charging and discharging cyc

In this work steel slag, one of the main by-products of the steelmaking industry, is proposed as a competitive and effective heat storage material. The implemented storage design suggested for this material is a solid packed bed arrangement based in the temperature stratification (thermocline) phenomena. In particular, two different solutions based on different storage tank geometries, cylindrical and conical, have been modeled by using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods.
