Advanced Cascade Thermal Storage

CTCN Keyword Matches

Professor Wirz and colleagues have developed a method to optimize thermal energy storage (TES). By cascading the storage medium (SM) the method optimizes the interaction between the SM and the source/sink working fluid. For particular SMs in which pressure and temperature considerations are especially important this technology promises to yield much higher efficiencies and performance at low cost. Applications: Energy storage
