The paper at hand presents a new approach to achieve 100 % renewable power supply introducing Thermal Storage Power Plants (TSPP) that integrate firm power capacity from biofuels with variable renewable electricity converted to flexible power via integrated thermal energy storage.
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.
Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly important due to the demand-supply challenge caused by the intermittency of renewable energy and waste heat dissipation to the environment. This paper discusses the fundamentals and novel applications of TES materials and identifies appropriate TES materials for particular applications.
How about in a tray of ice cubes? Thermal energy storage technologies allow us to temporarily reserve energy produced in the form of heat or cold for use at a different time. Take for example modern solar thermal power plants, which produce all of their energy when the sun is shining during the day.
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.
Bioenergy is used as primary fuel for Thermal Storage Power Plants in order to guarantee firm power capacity at any time just on demand in order to close the residual load gaps of the power sector. PV and energy storage integrated to TSPP save as much biofuel as possible in order to reduce the pressure on the limited available bioenergy resources.
