Abstract

Thermochemical energy storage can achieve high storage densities as well as nearly loss-free long-term storage, while offering charge or discharge on demand. Suitable materials consist of solid and gaseous components, where the dosage of reacting gas in the reactor can easily be regulated to control the reaction. Most materials currently investigated for thermochemical heat storage feature a volume change of the solid reactive material during the reaction. To study this effect and its influence on the reaction performance, we present a numerical model that can capture the changing hydraulic properties of the solid reactor fill, represented by the parameters porosity and permeability. This model is applied to a quasi-1D setup for the reaction system CaO/Ca(OH)2.
