Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a Thermal Energy Storage System for Parabolic Trough Power Plants With Direct Steam Generation
TL;DR: In this article, a three-part storage system is proposed where a phase change material (PCM) storage is deployed for the two-phase evaporation, while concrete storage will be used for storing sensible heat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrochemical measurement of corrosive impurities in molten chlorides for thermal energy storage
TL;DR: In this paper, an electrochemical method based on cyclic voltammetry (CV) was proposed to measure the concentration of the hydroxide impurity in molten MgCl2/KCl/NaCl (60/20/20
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Molten chloride salts for next generation CSP plants: Selection of promising chloride salts & study on corrosion of alloys in molten chloride salts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the properties of single chlorides and chloride mixtures for selecting the suitable molten chloride salt mixtures in next generation concentrated solar power (CSP) plants.
PCM-Graphite Composites for High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage
TL;DR: In this article, a composite latent heat storage materials (CLHSM) was used to solve the problem of insufficient heat transfer by enlarging the heat exchanger surface or using a composite graphite matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molten Salt Storage for Power Generation
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of molten salt storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants and new potential fields for decarbonization such as industrial processes, conventional power plants and electrical energy storage is presented.
