Use of Encapsulated Zinc Particles in a Eutectic Chloride Salt to Enhance Thermal Energy Storage Capacity for Concentrated Solar Power

Journal Article Cingarapu, Sreeram ; Singh, Dileep ; Timofeeva, Elena V. ; ... - Renewable Energy

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is considered as a viable large-scale renewable energy source to produce electricity. However, current costs to produce electricity from CSP are not cost competitive as compared to the traditional energy generation technologies based on fossil fuels and nuclear. It is envisioned that development of high efficiency and high heat capacity thermal storage fluids will increase system efficiency, reduce structural storage volume, and hence, contribute to reducing costs. Particularly, with respect to CSP, current high temperature energy storage fluids, such as molten salts, are relatively limited in terms of their thermal energy storage capacity and thermal conductivity.more »« less

Prototype Testing of Encapsulated Phase Change Material Thermal Energy Storage (EPCM-TES) for Concentrated Solar Power

Technical Report Yu, Wenhua ; Singh, Dileep

In the present study, experimental investigations were conducted on encapsulated phase-change material (EPCM) capsules from Terrafore Technologies. Several aspects of the EPCM capsules were evaluated, including shell fracture stress under compression and melting/solidification performance. The stress testing was conducted with the Instron universal test system, and the melting/solidification testing was conducted in Argonne National Laboratory’s high-temperature thermal energy storage test system. Results on the EPCM fracture stress, the melting/solidification characteristics of the EPCM capsules, the temperature repeatability under similar test conditions, and the heat balance for melting/solidification processes are presented in this report.

Using Encapsulated Phase Change Material in Thermal Energy Storage for Baseload Concentrating Solar Power (EPCM-TES)

Technical Report Mathur, Anoop

Terrafore successfully demonstrated and optimized the manufacturing of capsules containing phase-changing inorganic salts. The phase change was used to store thermal energy collected from a concentrating solar-power plant as latent heat. This latent heat, in addition to sensible heat increased the energy density (energy stored per unit weight of salt) by over 50%, thus requiring 40% less salt and over 60% less capsule container. Therefore, the cost to store high-temperature thermal energy collected in a concentrating solar power plant will be reduced by almost 40% or more, as compared to conventional two-tank, sensible-only storage systems. The cost for thermal energymore »« less

Experimental Test of Properties of KCl–MgCl2 Eutectic Molten Salt for Heat Transfer and Thermal Storage Fluid in Concentrated Solar Power Systems

Journal Article Xu, Xiankun ; Wang, Xiaoxin ; Li, Peiwen ; ... - Journal of Solar Energy Engineering

The eutectic mixture of MgCl₂–KCl molten salt is a high temperature heat transfer and thermal storage fluid able to be used at temperatures up to 800 °C in concentrating solar thermal power systems. The molten salt thermophysical properties are reported including vapor pressure, heat capacity, density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the corrosion behavior of nickel-based alloys in the molten salt corrosion at high temperatures. Correlations of the measured properties as functions of molten salt temperatures are presented for industrial applications. The test results of tensile strength of two nickel-based alloys exposed in the molten salt at a temperature of 800more »« less
