Molten Salt Storage for Power Generation
An overview of molten salt energy storage in commercial concentrating solar power plants as well as new fields for its application is given. With regard to the latter, energy-intensive
At the end of 2019 the worldwide power generation capacity from molten salt storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants was 21 GWh el. This article gives an overview of molten salt storage in CSP and new potential fields for decarbonization such as industrial processes, conventional power plants and electrical energy storage.
This article gives an overview of molten salt storage in CSP and new potential fields for decarbonization such as industrial processes, conventional power plants and electrical energy storage. Concentrating solar power (CSP), also known as solar thermal electricity, is a commercial technology that produ-ces heat by concentrating solar irradiation.
The molten salt storage transforms the volatile electricity storage integration in combined cycle plants [111,116]. into a steady heat flow for the power cycle. Conventional combined heat and power (CHP) units operate typically The authors proposed to operate steam turbine CHP plants supplied by a either on heat or electricity demand.
Drost proposed a coal fired peaking power plant using molten salt storage in 1990 112. Conventional power plant operation with a higher flexibility using TES was examined in research projects (e.g., BMWi funded projects FleGs 0327882 and FLEXI-TES 03ET7055).
