Thermodynamic electricity storage adopts the thermal processes such as compression, expansion, heating and cooling to convert electrical energy into pressure energy, heat energy or cold energy for storage in the low period of power consumption, and then convert the stored energy into electrical energy at the peak of electricity consumption.
In this paper, we review a class of promising bulk energy storage technologies based on thermo-mechanical principles, which includes: compressed-air energy storage, liquid-air energy storage and pumped-thermal electricity storage.
The thermodynamic principles upon which these thermo-mechanical energy storage (TMES) technologies are based are discussed and a synopsis of recent progress in their development is presented, assessing their ability to provide reliable and cost-effective solutions.
CAES, CCES and PTES are representative technologies of thermodynamic electricity storage. As can be seen from the Fig. 1, compared with other storage technologies, pumped hydro energy storage and thermodynamic electricity storage technologies are more suitable for large-scale and long-term energy storage.
Isothermal heat transfer processes using wet steam as heat transfer fluid are dominant in subcritical Rankine cycles, thus an efficient PTES implementation minimizing entropy generation demands an option for isothermal heat storage.
