Conceptual design of a packed bed for thermal-energy storage. [In compressed air energy storage system]
The design approach, conceptual design, and basic cost estimates for a packed bed for thermal-energy storage in an underground compressed-air-storage system are presented. The conceptual designs considered are a 200-MW(e) system operating on a weekly cycle, and a combined solar-thermal/compressed-air-storage system capable of delivering 100 MW(e) to the generator on discharge. Geological stresses in the thermal-energy storage cavity are examined, although a detailed cycling, stress analysis of the rock has not been undertaken.
