Abstract

A framework is proposed to systematically identify promising solid-gas reaction candidates for thermochemical energy storage (TCES) in concentrating solar plants (CSP). It involves four steps: (i) generation of a list of reaction candidates, (ii) screening reactions based on thermodynamic criteria, (iii) solution of a process synthesis model to (iv) selection of candidate reactions. The analyses identify ten reactions that can be economically and energetically superior to the state-of-the-art two-tank molten salt storage system.
