Abstract

Solar thermal electricity generation is taking up increasing proportions of future power generation worldwide. Recent research indicates that a closed-loop Brayton cycle using supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) offers the potential of higher power cycle efficiency versus the conventional superheated steam cycle at temperatures relevant for CSP applications. Thermal energy storage solves the time mismatch between the solar energy supply and the electricity peak demand and allows for a more efficient use of the turbine and other power block components. The narrow storage temperature range required for the s-CO2 cycle advantages the use of latent heat storage, which has a higher storage density compared to the conventional two-tank storage. This paper demonstrates a design of a cascaded shell and tube phase change storage system potentially applicable for the s-CO2 cycle. A previously developed effectiveness-number of transfer unit method is employed as a design guide and computational fluid dynamics modelling is performed to examine the sensible energy extraction. The results prove that the effectiveness of the extracted sensible energy can be increased by increasing the number of phase change storage systems in series. Stainless steel (SS) AISI 316 as well as a creep resistant SS AISI 446 is considered as the tube material in the design and results suggest that using AISI 446 can minimize the overall amount of storage and tube materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
