| Project Name | ECONOMIC LONG-DURATION ELECTRICITY STORAGE BY USING LOW-COST THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE AND HIGH-EFFICIENCY POWER CYCLE |
| Project Detail | The National Renewable Energy Laboratory team will develop a high-temperature, low-cost thermal energy storage system using a high-performance heat exchanger and Brayton combined-cycle turbine to generate power. Electric heaters will heat stable, inexpensive solid particles to temperatures greater than 1100°C (2012°F) during charging, which can be stored in insulated silos for several days. To discharge the system, the hot particles will be fed through the fluidized bed heat exchanger, heating a working fluid to drive the gas turbine attached to a generator. The electricity storage system is designed to be deployed economically anywhere in the United States. |
