Abstract

Pumped Thermal Energy Storage (PTES) uses electricity to power a heat pump; transferring heat from a cold space to a hot space forms a hot and a cold thermal reservoir, thereby storing energy. To discharge, the temperature difference between the two stores is used to drive a heat engine which generates electricity. In this chapter, PTES systems which store energy in liquids will be described. The chapter will concentrate on Joule-Brayton power cycles with molten salt storage. Part-load operation of Joule-Brayton PTES with liquid storage can be managed with "inventory control," and it is demonstrated that this control method leads to relatively good performance over a range of operating points.
