Abstract

Storage of sensible heat in solids allows the highest storage temperature levels, avoiding the problem of high vapor pressure of liquid media. A wide choice of materials is usable and can deliver economically attractive solutions. The chapter illustrates developments of concrete storage for parabolic trough power plants; regenerator storage in packed beds for solar thermal power towers, for improved flexibility of combined-cycle cogeneration (CC/CHP) plants, and for adiabatic compressed air energy storage (CAES); the CellFlux concept with regenerator storage units operated in a secondary loop at low pressure and low parasitic power; and particulate storage for solar central receiver systems with particle receiver and moving bed heat exchanger.
