Published at Energy – A cascaded thermochemical energy storage system enabling performance enhancement of concentrated solar power plants

Abstract: Calcium looping (CaL) thermochemical energy storage (TCES) exhibits promising potential for application in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. However, the CSP-CaL integrating system encounters challenges related to elevated heat loss and diminished power generation efficiency. Herein, for the sake of a more rational heat management and enhanced energy utilization, we propose a cascaded energy …
