In the charging process of the PCCaL-TES system, surplus energy is stored via sensible heat, latent heat, and chemical energy with the calcination and melting of the solid solution CaCO3/CaO-CaCl2. In the discharging process, the carbonation and solidification of CaCO3/CaO-CaCl2 takes place and thus the stored energy is retrieved. Compared to the conventional CaL-TES system, the innovative PCCaL-TES system can help maintain a high activity of CaO over long-term operation due to the enhanced heat and mass transfer in the liquid-state carbonation. In this study, the energy storage performance of PCCaL-TES was assessed using the simulation package Aspen Plus v10. According to the modeling results, the PCCaL-TES system can achieve a round-trip efficiency of up to 49% and an energy storage density of nearly 1.5 GJ/m3, presenting improvements of about 4% and 20%, respectively, compared with the conventional CaL-TES system. Meanwhile, a parametric analysis was carried out to examine the effect of key operating parameters on the system performance of PCCaL-TES. The calculations show that the round-trip efficiency of the PCCaL-TES system can be improved by raising the mole fraction of CaCl2, increasing the carbonator temperature, or employing an optimum carbonator pressure. It was also found that a low mole fraction of CaCl2, a high activity of CaO, or a low temperature of CO2 storage was beneficial to achieving a high energy storage density. Finally, the impact of other operating factors on the round-trip efficiency of PCCaL-TES was summarized in a sensitivity analysis. It revealed the round-trip efficiency of the PCCaL-TES system was dominantly determined by the performance of the CO2 turbine (W-TURB) and compressor (W-COMP), the gas–liquid heat exchanger (HX3) and the exhaust CO2 cooler (CL3).]]> Wed 09 Nov 2022 15:45:05 AEDT ]]> Advanced applications of tunable ferrofluids in energy systems and energy harvesters: a critical review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34169 Tue 31 Mar 2020 15:01:35 AEDT ]]> Equilibrium thermodynamic analyses of methanol production via a novel chemical looping carbon arrestor process https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27966 Tue 02 Apr 2019 09:36:07 AEDT ]]> Life cycle assessment of co-firing coal and wood waste for bio-energy with carbon capture and storage – New South Wales study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52106 Thu 28 Sep 2023 14:56:54 AEST ]]> Comparative study on flash pyrolysis characteristics of microalgal and lignocellulosic biomass in entrained-flow reactor https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31123 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:44:41 AEDT ]]> Utilization of ventilation air methane as an oxidizing agent in chemical looping combustion https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18747 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:48 AEDT ]]> An in-depth assessment of hybrid solar-geothermal power generation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20068 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:12 AEDT ]]> Assessment of geothermal assisted coal-fired power generation using an Australian case study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20649 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:09 AEDT ]]> Application of a novel calcium looping process for production of heat and carbon dioxide enrichment of greenhouses https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26647 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:51 AEDT ]]> Formation of hollow carbon nanofibers on bio-char during microwave pyrolysis of palm kernel shell https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30879 ID/IG ratio decreased from 0.95 to 0.86, indicating higher order of the carbon layers of the HCNFs.
