Abstract

The significant increase in renewable energy generation will lead to the unstable operation of the power system. Compressed carbon dioxide energy storage (CCES) is a promising energy storage technology, which can smooth the output of renewable energy. However, one of the disadvantages of conventional CCES is the need to store compression heat, which leads to the complex structure of heat storage units. In this paper, an isothermal CCES system integrated with solar thermal storage is proposed and modeled. The parameter variations of work fluids in the pressure vessels with time and the thermodynamic properties and economics of the system are analyzed. The results show that the round-trip efficiency is 107.14 %, the energy storage density is 5.174 MJ/m3, and the levelized cost of electricity is 0.142 $/kWh. The component with the highest exergy destruction is the regenerator, followed by the LP units. The combination of liquid spray technology can decrease the highest temperature of carbon dioxide in the pressure vessel from 358.80 K to 309.39 K and increase the isothermal compression efficiency from 78.72 % to 92.26 %. Increasing the liquid spray flow rate and decreasing the hydraulic pump flow rate can both make the actual compression process closer to the isothermal process.
