6 FAQs about [Steam extraction energy storage in thermal power plants]

Can thermal energy storage be integrated into coal-fired steam power plants?

In the FLEXI- TES joint project, the flexibilization of coal-fired steam power plants by integrating thermal energy storage (TES) into the power plant process is being investigated. In the concept phase at the beginning of the research project, various storage integration concepts were developed and evaluated.

What are some examples of heat extraction in power plants?

The literature also contains examples of direct and indirect heat extraction in the feedwater section as well as high-pressure and low-pressure storage tanks in the steam section of power plants. One example is a concept presented by Jentsch et al. of a displacement storage arranged parallel to the high-pressure preheating section.

Should thermal energy storage be integrated into power plants?

For conventional power plants, the integration of thermal energy storage (TES) into the power plant process opens up a promising option for meeting future technical requirements in terms of flexibility while at the same time improving economic efficiency.

What is a single steam source heating storage strategy?

In the single steam source heating storage strategy, a portion of the live steam enters the preheater and heat exchanger, facilitating sensible heat exchange with cold molten salt. This process converts the cold molten salt into hot molten salt, which exhibits improved liquidity following heat exchange.

What is a multi-steam source energy storage mode?

The multi-steam source energy storage mode is proposed based on the heat transfer characteristics of molten salt. Compared to the single steam source storage mode, the multi-steam source configuration demonstrates higher heat storage and thermal efficiency while maintaining the same peak shaving capacity during the storage phase.

How does a single steam source heat storage-release system work?

Figure 2 presents a schematic diagram of the single steam source heat storage-release system. In the single steam source heating storage strategy, a portion of the live steam enters the preheater and heat exchanger, facilitating sensible heat exchange with cold molten salt.
