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
existing machines with su cient lifespans to the new operating conditions. In particular these include steam turbines. The steam turbines'' cycles may be extended with energy storage
To effectively operate thermal power plant more flexibly, an integration concept of the energy storage system with the steam cycle of the thermal power plant is suggested in
The thermal energy storage capacity (TESC) of an SA is the amount of steam mass, or steam thermal energy, generated from the SA from p 1 down to p 2. For a fixed SA and SS with certain parameters, TESC is determined by the
In order to improve energy conservation, it is important to differentiate between different energy storage systems, as shown in Fig. 1.1. It also discusses various types of
Steam accumulation is one of the most effective ways of thermal energy storage (TES) for the solar thermal energy (STE) industry. However, the steam accumulator concept is penalized by a bad relationship
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.
Equivalent energy storage model of steam accumulator is proposed for optimization. An interactive iteration scheme between optimization and simulation is presented. Economic and efficiency performance of the electricity-steam coupled system is evaluated. Steam system plays a crucial role in industrial energy usage.
The mass flow rate going through the storage system is ramped-up during charging via a controlled bypass valve in order to maximize the steam used by the system. For most of the charging cycle, the steam cools in the storage but does not condense and is passed on to the customer.
Once the saturation temperature (~224 °C) is reached, the steam can be used by the power plant system; until this time, it is disposed of in the cooling pool. The mass flow rate going through the storage system is ramped-up during charging via a controlled bypass valve in order to maximize the steam used by the system.
The condenser and evaporator corresponding to the storage and heat processes account for 60 % of the total exergy losses in thermal energy storage system. The retrofitted system has a maximum cycle efficiency of 70–80 % with low and peak modulation rates of 16.5 % and 11.7 %.
