Non-Battery Bulk Energy Storage: Options for Thermal Energy Storage Integration with Fossil Power Plants
Fossil plants are increasingly asked to cycle to help balance grids with intermittent renewable energy. Thermal energy storage could reduce cycling needs and provide more control over power exports, but the molten-salt mixture typically used as the storage medium is high-cost. This study quantifies the cost and performance of three alternative materials (concrete, sand, and […]
