Abstract

Abstract:

Pumped thermal energy storage technology will play a critical role in the future electric power system due to its large scale,low capital cost and no geographical constraints.A pumped thermal energy storage system based on solid packed beds and the reversible Joule-Brayton cycles and the effects of distinct design parameters on the system's thermo-economic performance were investigated.It can be revealed that the system roundtrip efficiency increase with the gowing of the maximum charging temperature,polytropic efficiency of the machines and porosity of packed beds.Using helium as the working fluid and magnetite as the storage material,the system's maximum roundtrip efficiency can be as high as 72.45% when the maximum charging temperature,polytropic efficiency of the machines and porosity of packed beds are 850 K,92% and 46%,respectively.The levelized energy storage cost of the system reduces with the rising of the maximum charging temperature and polytropic efficiency of the machines.Using helium as the working fluid and magnetite as the storage material,the minimum levelized cost energy storage will bottom at 0.211 dollar/（kW·h） when the maximum charging temperature,polytropic efficiency of the machines and porosity of packed beds are 850 K,92% and 40%,respectively.
