Energy and Exergy Analyses of an Open Thermochemical Energy Storage System: Methodology and Illustrative Application

Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) is a developed technology for storing thermal energy that can diminish environmental impacts and provide more efficient and environmentally friendly energy systems. Among various types of TES systems, thermochemical TES is an advanced method with the potential for higher energy storage densities and more compact systems. The evaluation of such systems is improved significantly when exergy analysis is used to complement energy analysis. Here, a general open thermochemical TES is inv… Show more

“…It is selected due to its higher rate of thermal conductivity Moreover, the dimensional requirements and the rate of heat produced by the component also plays a vital role in the implementation of the thermal storage system . The usage of thermal storage greatly improved the overall cost effectiveness, plant downtime during the operational condition and the usage of the steam …”

“…Finally, the kinetics of adsorption may also affect the efficiency of the storage process. Indeed the rate at which the adsorbate is retained on the adsorbent surface will impact the heat and mass transport during adsorption, in relation with the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the adsorbent used, composition and temperature of the inlet gas, type of the adsorbent bed, as well as the reactor dimensions [ 13 , 57 , 76 , 77 ]. With a fixed bed adsorption process in an open sorption system using air as the carrier gas, the temperature distribution at different positions within the reactor and, what is most important in view of space heating applications, the rate of adsorbate depletion in the outflowing air and the temperature variations of the latter are kinetics-sensitive technical characteristics.…”

“…The existing technologies for short-term thermal energy storage in building applications are mature and robust enough to manage the daily mismatch between the energy supply and demand [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. For any method of thermal storage, high-temperature solar energy is used in the initial step (i.e., charging step ) to drive the underlying reactions or phenomena in the endothermic direction.…”

“…The transfer of technology from research to industry has been successfully accomplished by implementing the principle of energy storage by heat of water adsorption onto zeolites in daily heating of a school building in Munich [10]. In comparison with such a shortterm energy storage, the technical feasibility of seasonal storage is subject to some inherent limitations.…”
