Fixed Bed Reactor Design for Thermochemical Energy Storage Using Ca(OH)2 /CaO

Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is an attractive mode of storing the solar energy in the form of heat to be used with concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. Thermal energy is stored/released using a reverse endothermic/ exothermic reaction. TCES offers clear advantages over the other thermal energy storage (TES) options with sensible heat storage (SHS) and latent heat storage (LHS) in terms of energy density, storage time and the temperature range for thermal energy storage.

Packed Bed Reactor Design For High Temperature Thermochemical Energy Storage Using Metal Oxide Redox Reaction

Themochemmical energy storage (TCES) compared to other energy storage solution is more suitable due to possibility of storage at higher density and even higher temperatures. Thermal energy is stored/released using a reversible endothermic/exothermic reaction. For large-scale high temperature heat storage, TCES in nearly the only solution compared to the sensible or latent heat storage. However, high temperature TCES is at research stage and has not been commercialized yet.
