Technoeconomic Analysis of Thermal Energy Grid Storage Using Graphite and Tin Energy storage is needed to enable dispatchable renewable energy supply and thereby full decarbonization of the grid.
Here, we introduce an electricity storage concept that stores electricity as sensible heat in graphite storage blocks and uses multi- junction thermophotovoltaics (TPV) as a heat engine to convert it back to electricity on demand.
When electricity is desired, the system is discharged by pumping liquid tin through the graphite storage unit, which heats it to the peak temperature 2400C, after which it is routed to the power block. The power block consists of an array of graphite pipes that form vertically oriented unit cells.
Nominally, just like in the prior work of Amy et al., the tin is envisaged to be heated from 1900C up to 2400C, thereby converting the energy input into sensible heat in the tin, by raising its enthalpy. The tin is pumped through the piping continuously, and is then routed to the storage unit, which contains large graphite blocks.
In addition, the maximum basin exergy destruction was observed in CSS compared to other solar still components. The results observed that the heat storage ability of the graphite plates
