Economic analysis of the seasonal storage of electricity with liquid organic hydrides

Energy storage for mitigating the variability of renewable electricity sources: An updated review

“…For this application, only PHS, flow batteries, CAES and hydrogen are technically viable. However, PHS has such low energy density that seasonal storage may cause unacceptable changes to water levels in the storage reservoirs, and hydrogen storage may be unacceptable due to its very low 30-40% cycle efficiency (Vanhanen et al, 1998;Scherer and Newson, 1998;Scherer et al, 1999).…”

Evaluation of Industrially Applied Heat‐Transfer Fluids as Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier Systems

“…Detailed energetic and economic calculations for such a local storage-heat combination that demonstrate the high potential of this approach have been recently published by some of us. [11] Despite the growing interest in the application of LOHC systems for decentralized energy storage, all of the major research activities in Northern America [12] and Europe [13,14] that have been conducted so far have focused on the development of LOHC systems for automotive applications. In these projects, the LOHC system NEC/H12-NEC has been intensively studied and identified as most promising.…”

Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers as an efficient vector for the transport and storage of renewable energy

“…Various substances have been discussed as potential ETS candidates, e.g. methylcyclohexaneetoluene by [6], a variety of cycloalkanes [9] and ammoniaborane-based systems [8,10]. The focus of this contribution lies on heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons like N-ethylcarbazole [11], which e due to extensive research e are currently among the best understood LOHC systems with convenient material properties for the application as an energy carrier.…”
