Other sources of thermal energy for storage include heat or cold produced with heat pumps from off-peak, lower cost electric power, a practice called peak shaving; heat from combined heat and power (CHP) power plants; heat produced by renewable electrical energy that exceeds grid demand and waste heat from industrial processes.
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.
Thermal energy storage forms a key component of a power plant for improvement of its dispatchability. Though there have been many reviews of storage media, there are not many that focus on storage system design along with its integration into the power plant.
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.
Thermal Storage Power Plants (TSPP) that integrate solar- and bioenergy are proposed for that purpose. Finally, in the third phase, renewable power supply can be extended to other sectors via power-to-X technologies, reducing fossil fuel consumption for transport, heat and industrial purposes.
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.
