6 FAQs about [Energy storage in foreign thermal power plants]

Can thermal storage power plants achieve 100 % renewable power supply?

The paper at hand presents a new approach to achieve 100 % renewable power supply introducing Thermal Storage Power Plants (TSPP) that integrate firm power capacity from biofuels with variable renewable electricity converted to flexible power via integrated thermal energy storage.

What is thermal energy storage?

Industrial processes use thermal energy storage primarily for waste heat recovery and process efficiency. Power plant applications, particularly those in concentrating solar power, use TES systems to improve dispatchability and increase operational efficiency of process units.

Which energy storage technologies are used in a flexible thermal plant?

Among energy storage technologies and their significant dif-ferences on installed capacity and time response [7, 8], in the following chapters, three different technologies are investigated in combination with flexible thermal plants: LAES, Batteries, Power to Fuel with a focus on Power to Methanol (PtM).

Why do we need thermal power plants in the EU?

The energy system in the EU requires today as well as towards 2030 to 2050 significant amounts of thermal power plants in combination with the continu-ously increasing share of Renewables Energy Sources (RES) to assure the grid stability and to secure electric-ity supply as well as to provide heat.

What are the characteristics of thermal storage power plants?

They must be energy efficient and cost-effective in spite of low annual utilization rates (equivalent full load hours). Thermal Storage Power Plants comply with the abovementioned characteristics, are based on state-of-the-art technology and are on the verge of being realized in first-of-a-kind pilot plants .

What are the benefits of thermal energy storage in power plants?

Thermal energy storage in power plants delivers a number of benefits including: dispatchability of power generation, lower levelized cost of electricity, power plant and component efficiency, reduction of fossil fuel use and short-term compensation of demand fluctuation and generation interruptions.
