Seasonal sorption heat storage - Research on thermochemical materials and storage performance

Advantages of thermochemical heat storage over conventional heat storage are a higher energy density and loss-free storage of the heat after charging, since the heat is stored in chemical form. At ECN, a thermochemical heat storage is developed for seasona ...

Effect of Thermal Loading on Nb3Sn CICC Performance

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Stephen Alfred March

The ITER CICC will undergo a number of cool-down and warm-up cycles over the lifetime of the plant. The standard SULTAN based ITER conductor qualification test normally includes one thermal cycle in the test sequence. In many samples a performance degradat ...

Thermoeconomic Analysis of a Solar Enhanced Energy Storage Concept Based on Thermodynamic Cycles

Samuel Henchoz

Large scale energy storage may play an increasingly important role in the power generation and distribution sector, especially when large shares of renewable energies will have to be integrated into the electrical grid. Up to now pumped-hydro is the only t ...
