  • the present invention relates to a thermal energy storage and recovery device comprising a heat exchanger arrangement and a heat storage material.
  • the present invention relates to a thermal energy storage and recovery system comprising such a thermal energy storage and recovery device and to a method for stor ⁇ ing and recovering thermal energy with such a thermal energy storage and recovery device.

  • the production may be dependent on environmental parameters such as for instance wind speed (for wind turbines) , sunshine intensity (for solar power plant) and wave height and direc ⁇ tion (for wave energy plants) .
  • wind speed for wind turbines
  • sunshine intensity for solar power plant
  • wave height and direc ⁇ tion for wave energy plants
  • WO 9214054 Al discloses a wind-powered energy production and storing system comprising a wind rotor in driving engagement with a power generator via transmission means, to which is also connected a heat pump for operation of at least one heat exchanger unit.

  • a steam generator may be connected to the heat storing station which via a steam turbine drives an additional power generator for power production during periods of slack winds.
  • the storing stations may be buried in soil having a filling of sand, stones or similar materials.
  • One disadvantage of this wind-powered energy production and storing system is that there is a direct mechanical connec ⁇ tion between the energy storage and recovery system and the wind turbine and that all the energy storage equipment, besides the storing stations, is placed in the wind turbine resulting in a complex mechanical arrangement of the system components. This causes the known system to be not flexible.

  • the heat exchanger arrangement is adapted to (a) transport the heat transfer medium from the first end to the second end, if the thermal energy storage and recovery device is in a first operational mode, in which the heat storage material is supposed to receive thermal energy from the heat transfer medium and (b) transport the heat transfer medium from the second end to the first end, if the thermal energy storage and recovery device is in a second operational mode, in which the heat storage material is supposed to release thermal energy to the heat transfer medium.
  • the thermal interaction region has at least such a physical length along a transport direction of the heat transfer medium and the control unit is config- ured for operating the thermal energy storage and recovery device in such a manner, that when storing thermal energy with a hot heat transfer medium or when recovering thermal energy with a cold heat transfer medium within the thermal energy storage and recovery device there exists a region where the inlet and outlet temperature of the heat transfer medium of this region is kept at least substantially con ⁇ stant .
  • the described thermal energy storage and recovery device is based on the idea that by employing different transport directions of the heat transfer medium for different opera- tional modes, wherein the physical length of the thermal interaction region is larger than a predetermined lengthwise extension, a highly efficient thermal energy storage can be realized.
  • the combination of (a) different transport directions for the two different operational modes and (b) a long physical length allow for achieving an outlet temperature of the heat transfer medium at least at some time during the second operational mode, which outlet temperature is not significantly smaller than the inlet temperature of the heat transfer medium at least at some time during the first operational mode.
  • the heated up (originally) cold heat transfer medium may also comprise heated steam which then may be used di ⁇ rectly to drive a steam turbine without any further heating means.
  • the efficiency of the heat storage process can be significantly increased.
  • the described principle of using (a) a first transport direc ⁇ tion from the first end to the second end for charging the heat storage material with thermal energy and (b) an opposite second transport direction from the second end to the first end for discharging the heat storage material from thermal energy can be interpreted as employing a counter current principle .

When the heat transfer medium leaves the heat exchanger arrangement it may have become liquid again.
  • a cold liquid fluid may be heated up such that it is converted into a gaseous or at least partially gaseous steam. This may be in particular advantageous if the extracted thermal energy is used for driving a steam turbine which itself drives an electric power generator.
  • Having a long physical length of the heat exchanger arrange ⁇ ment together with the use of the counter current heat ex ⁇ change principle may ensure that a nearly constant inlet and outlet temperature of the thermal energy storage and recovery device can be realized. This makes it quite easier to control connected equipment for recovering the stored energy and supplying electrical power to a power grid.
  • the described region, where the inlet and outlet temperature of the heat transfer medium of the region is kept constant is longer than other regions of the thermal energy storage and recovery device, where the respective inlet and outlet temperature of the heat transfer medium is not substantially constant.

  • valves may be thermostat controlled and/or remote controlled.
  • the thermal energy storage and recovery device further comprises thermal insulating means (a) for thermally isolating the whole thermal energy storage and recovery device from its environment and/or (b) for thermally isolating different compartments of the thermal energy storage and recovery device from each other.

  • the thermal insulation means may comprise e.g. mineral wool, glass wool, rock wool or other preferably similar insulating materials .
  • the compartments are configured in such a manner that along the thermal interaction region a stepwise temperature gradient control can be realized such that in each compartment there is a constant temperature and the temperatures of different compartments are different from each other.
  • the heat storage material comprises a solid material such as in par- ticular sand, soil, ashes, stones and/or gravel.
  • a solid material such as in par- ticular sand, soil, ashes, stones and/or gravel.
  • other materials which are preferably also relatively cheap and which comprise similar thermal properties may be used .
  • the first end comprises a single first opening and the second end comprises a single second opening, wherein (i) in the first operational mode the first opening is used for receiving hot fluid and the second opening is used for emitting a cold fluid representing cooled down hot fluid and (ii) in the second operational mode the second opening is used for re ⁇ closing cold fluid and the first opening is used for emitting a hot fluid representing heated up cold fluid.

  • the further heat exchanger arrangement is adapted to (a) transport the further heat transfer medium from the further first end to the further second end, if the thermal energy storage and recovery device is in a further first operational mode, in which the further heat storage material is supposed to receive thermal energy from the further heat transfer medium and (b) transport the further heat transfer medium from the further second end to the further first end, if the thermal energy storage and recovery device is in a further second operational mode, in which the further heat storage material is supposed to re- lease thermal energy to the further heat transfer medium.

L'aménagement d'échangeur de chaleur est conçu pour (a) transporter le milieu de transfert de chaleur depuis la première extrémité vers la seconde extrémité, si le dispositif se trouve dans un premier mode de fonctionnement, dans lequel le matériau de stockage de chaleur reçoit l'énergie thermique provenant du milieu de transfert de chaleur et (b) transporter le milieu de transfert de chaleur de la seconde extrémité vers la première extrémité, si le dispositif se trouve dans un second mode de fonctionnement, dans lequel le matériau de stockage de chaleur libère l'énergie thermique vers le milieu de transfert de chaleur. La région d'interaction thermique a au moins une longueur physique le long d'une direction de transport du milieu de transfert de chaleur telle, et l'unité de commande est configurée pour faire fonctionner le dispositif d'une manière telle que, lors du stockage de l'énergie thermique avec un milieu de transfert de chaleur chaud ou lors de la récupération d'énergie thermique avec un milieu de transfert de chaleur froid dans le dispositif, il existe une région (R) où la température d'entrée et de sortie du milieu de transfert de chaleur de cette région est maintenue constante.
