Abstract

This paper proposes and investigates novel concepts on the integration of a thermochemical energy storage (TCS) system in a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant. The TCS material used is calcium oxide reacting with water and the power cycle studied is a Rankine cycle driven by CSP. Firstly, three integration concepts on the coupling of the TCS system with the Rankine cycle are proposed, including the thermal integration concept, the mass integration concept and the double turbine concept. Then, an energy analysis is performed to determine and compare the theoretical overall energy efficiency of the proposed concepts. After that, an exergy analysis is carried out for the selected integration concepts so as to evaluate and compare the overall exergy efficiency of the installation with TCS integration.
