Dish Stirling High Performance Thermal Storage (FY15Q1 Quad Chart)
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The goals of this project are to: 1) Demonstrate the feasibility of significant thermal storage for dish Stirling systems to leverage their existing high performance to greater capacity, 2) Demonstrate key components of a latent storage and transport system enabling on-dish storage with low exergy losses, and 3) Provide a technology path to a 25kWe system with 6 hours of storage. Innovations associated with this project are: 1) Leverage high performance heat pipes to support feasible system layout, 2) Develop and test high temperature, high performance PCM storage, 3) Optimize storage configuration for cost and exergy performance, and 4) Latent storage and transport matches Stirling cycle isothermal input.
