Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of thermal energy storage process for large scale electric applications was presented, based on a high temperature heat pump cycle which transformed electrical energy into thermal energy and stored it inside two large regenerators, followed by a thermal engine cycle which transforms the stored thermal energy back into electrical energy.

TL;DR: A literature survey on the Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage technology is presented with the aim of analysing its actual configurations and state of development in this article, which is the most promising one due to its long cycle life, no geographical limitations, no need of fossil fuel streams and capability of being integrated into conventional fossil-fuelled power plants.
Abstract: A large penetration of variable intermittent renewable energy sources into the electric grid is stressing the need of installing large-scale Energy Storage units. Pumped Hydro Storage, Compressed Air Energy Storage and Flow Batteries are the commercially available large-scale energy storage technologies. However, these technologies suffer of geographical constrains (such as Pumped Hydro Storage and Compressed Air Energy Storage), require fossil fuel streams (like Compressed Air Energy Storage) or are characterised by low cycle life (Flow Batteries). For this reason, there is the need of developing new large-scale Energy Storage Technologies which do not suffer of the above-mentioned drawbacks. Among the in-developing large-scale Energy Storage Technologies, Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage or Pumped Heat Energy Storage is the most promising one due to its long cycle life, no geographical limitations, no need of fossil fuel streams and capability of being integrated into conventional fossil-fuelled power plants. Based on these evidences, in the present work, a literature survey on the Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage technology is presented with the aim of analysing its actual configurations and state of development.

TL;DR: In this article, a regenerator model is developed to estimate the actual performance of the regenerator and to compare it with the target performance, based on mass and energy balance of streams along with heat transfer characteristic equations.
