Improvement potential of Cryogenic Energy Storage systems by process modi fi cations and heat integration
Energy(2021)
摘要
Cryogenic Energy Storage (CES) system is currently gaining significant attention in the field of large-scale energy storage systems. This is because this system can provide high energy-density during storage and uses air or nitrogen that are available at no or a low cost. Moreover, the technology has matured and can be used on-site in a decoupled manner. The CES system has three sub-processes, namely, charging or liquefaction, storage, discharging or power cycle. To investigate the improvement potential of such systems, state-of-the-art configurations for each sub-processes have been analyzed in this paper. A configuration consisting of a multi-stage turbine expansion, a turbine and a JT-valve connected in series at the liquefaction stage, Organic Rankine cycle for utilization of heat of compression, and a four-stage reheat Rankine cycle with thermal energy storage at cryogenic temperature has been proposed. The study suggests that a high turnaround efficiency (about 90%) of the process may be achieved by an appropriate external source of thermal energy. ? 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
