Abstract
Based on a mathematical-physical model for the description of sensible heat storage in packed beds, the simulation program PACKBED has been developed, which is intended to serve as a decision base for the assessment of packed bed storage systems used in solar high temperature applications. For the validation of the theoretical model, the thermodynamic behaviour of packed beds consisting of sensible heat storage material has been investigated in the experimental store ARIANE, using air as heat transfer medium. Different material tests in the temperature range up to 800{sup o}C have been carried out. The short-time storage in large scale solar thermal power plants has been simulated under real operating conditions, as they are expected for the planned 30 MW{sub e} PHOEBUS solar tower power plant. For the same storage, it has been shown that the pressure drop, and therefore the required pumping power of the fan, can be reduced significantly by introducing an air bypass system. For the characterization of the storage performance, a storage quality factor has been introduced, which allows to compare different sensible heat storage systems and to describe the degradation of such storage systems during consecutive charging/discharging cycles. In the field of latent heat storage, a
