Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to electrothermal energy storage. It relates in particular to a system and method for storing thermal energy according to the preamble of the independent patent claims.
  • Electro-thermal energy storage (ETES) systems sometimes also referred to as thermoelectric energy storage (TEES) systems, and methods for electro-thermal (sometimes also named thermoelectric) energy storage play an ever increasing role for production and distribution of energy, in particular electric energy.
  • the basic principles of electro-thermal energy storage are described e.g. in EP 1 577 548 A1 and EP 2 157 317 A2 , which are hereby included by reference in their entirety.
  • the ETES system described in EP 2157317 A2 converts excess electricity to heat in a charging mode, stores the heat, and converts the heat back to electricity in a discharging mode when required.
  • Such an energy storage system is robust, compact, and suited to the storage of electrical energy in large amounts.
  • Thermal energy can be stored by one or more thermal storage media in the form of sensible heat via a change in temperature or in the form of latent heat via a change of phase or a combination of both.
  • the storage medium for the sensible heat may be a solid, liquid, or a gas.
  • the storage medium for the latent heat may involve any of these phases or a combination of them in series or in parallel.
  • an electro-thermal energy storage system comprises at least one hot thermal storage arrangement, comprising a first thermal storage medium, and at least one cold thermal storage arrangement, comprising a second thermal storage medium.
  • the charging mode of the ETES system is generally realized by operating a heat pump between the cold thermal storage arrangement and the hot thermal storage arrangement, whereas the discharging mode is realized by operating a heat engine between the hot thermal storage arrangement and the cold thermal storage arrangement.
  • Heat pump and heat engine may be individual thermodynamic machines with separate working fluid circuits, possibly containing different working fluids, and without common parts.
  • a single thermodynamic machine with a single working fluid circuit may be configured to alternatively act as a heat pump or a heat engine by reverting a flow direction of the single working fluid, i.e. by switching between a heat pump cycle and a heat engine cycle.
  • a heat pump requires work to move thermal energy from a thermal energy source on a cold side, e.g. the second thermal storage medium of the cold thermal storage arrangement, to a (warmer) thermal energy sink on a hot side, e.g. to the first thermal storage medium of the hot thermal storage arrangement. Since the amount of energy deposited at the hot side is greater than the work required by an amount equal to the energy taken from the cold side, a heat pump will "multiply" the heat as compared to resistive heat generation. The ratio of heat output to work input is called coefficient of performance, and it is a value larger than one. In this way, the use of a heat pump will increase the round-trip efficiency of a ETES system.
  • ETES systems are preferably installed in a so called site independent arrangement, where the ETES would ideally be a closed system without any thermal interaction with its environment.
  • ice storage is preferably foreseen as part of the cold thermal storage arrangement to form the cold end of the charging and discharging cycles of the system; i.e. ice would be produced during in charging mode, while ice would be consumed when the ETES is in discharging mode.
  • CO 2 may preferably be used as working fluid; and is preferably evaporated to produce ice when the ETES system is in charging mode, and condensed to melt ice in discharge mode.
  • the ETES system has to interact with an environment in some way in order to compensate for the losses of the involved processes, i.e. release the losses to the environment.
  • auxiliary heat pump which would generate additional cold by interaction with the environment.
  • the cold would be used to cool the second thermal storage medium of the cold thermal storage arrangement, in order to compensate for the losses of the whole system.
  • an additional ammonia chiller could be used to produce additional ice, in particular in the charging mode.
  • the auxiliary heat pump would supply cold to compensate for the losses in order to enable the periodic charging and discharging operation to work repeatedly.
  • this cold needs to be stored, which leads to an increase in size and cost of the cold storage, and thus to an increased cost and footprint of the ETES system.
  • WO 2011103306 A1 describes a method of keeping energy balance in a electro-thermal energy storage system based on a Rankine cycle.
  • the document discloses a "storage refrigerant circuit that receives input electric power and converts the electric power to stored thermal energy" with "a second condenser in fluid communication with the first condenser, wherein the second condenser releases heat sufficient to balance the energy around the hot sink".
  • the method uses cooling on the hot side after the compressor to balance the electro-thermal energy storage.
  • a temperature difference between the thermal storage medium and the working fluid may be reduced using intermediate thermal storage tanks as described in the applicant's earlier patent application EP 2275649 . Such factors would also enable the ETES system to have a higher round-trip efficiency.
  • a electro-thermal energy storage system comprises: a hot thermal storage arrangement comprising a hot storage heat exchanger; a cold thermal storage arrangement comprising a cold storage heat exchanger; a thermodynamic cycle unit configured to transfer thermal energy from the cold storage arrangement to the hot storage arrangement in a charging mode, and to convert thermal energy from the hot storage arrangement into work and, preferably, subsequently into electric energy in a discharging mode, wherein the thermodynamic cycle unit comprises a fluid circuit for circulating a working fluid through the hot storage heat exchanger as well as through the cold storage heat exchanger, wherein the fluid circuit further comprises a pump for maintaining a circulation of working fluid in the discharging mode and a first turbine for expanding working fluid in the discharging mode; and wherein the thermodynamic cycle unit comprises a second turbine for expanding working fluid in the discharging mode, said second turbine being connected in series with the first turbine so that working fluid may flow from the first to the second turbine in the discharging mode, and an intercooling heat exchanger located in the fluid circuit between the first and the second turbine
  • a method in accordance with the invention for storing and retrieving energy in a electro-thermal energy storage system comprises the steps of: in a charging mode, transferring thermal energy from a cold thermal storage arrangement to a hot thermal storage arrangement by means of a first thermodynamic cycle configured to convert work into thermal energy; in a discharging mode, transferring thermal energy from the hot thermal storage arrangement to the cold thermal storage arrangement by means of a second thermodynamic cycle configured to convert thermal energy into work, wherein the second thermodynamic cycle process comprises the steps of generating work by expanding a working fluid of the second thermodynamic cycle (process) in a first turbine, generating work by further expanding the working fluid in a second turbine, and cooling the working fluid between steps and by exchanging heat with an environment.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is preferably used as working fluid.
  • the working fluid may also comprise ammonia (NH 3 ) and/or an organic fluid (such as methane, propane or butane) and/or a refrigerant fluid (such as R 134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane), R245 fa (1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane)).
