6 FAQs about [Solar energy storage fluid composition]

What is molten salt storage in concentrating solar power plants?

At the end of 2019 the worldwide power generation capacity from molten salt storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants was 21 GWh el. This article gives an overview of molten salt storage in CSP and new potential fields for decarbonization such as industrial processes, conventional power plants and electrical energy storage.

What is the contribution of thermal energy storage?

Besides the well-known technologies of pumped hydro, power-to-gas-to-power and batteries, the contribution of thermal energy storage is rather unknown. At the end of 2019 the worldwide power generation capacity from molten salt storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants was 21 GWh el.

Which fluid is used for energy storage in CSP plants?

For energy storage in CSP plants, mixtures of alkali nitrate salts are the preferred candidate fluids. These nitrate salts are widely available on the fertilizer market. Liquid thermophysical properties of typical mixtures are available in literature 3, 4.

Can solar energy be stored as chemical energy?

The solar energy from the solar field can be potentially stored as chemical energy, through the endothermic fuel oxidation reaction in a chemical process. Thermochemical systems commonly require higher temperatures to initiate the energy storage, but conversely provide higher temperatures on the release of that energy.

Are molten salts a thermal energy storage material?

Molten salts as thermal energy storage (TES) materials are gaining the attention of researchers worldwide due to their attributes like low vapor pressure, non-toxic nature, low cost and flexibility, high thermal stability, wide range of applications etc.

How much energy is stored in a molten salt storage system?

Regarding the storage media, more than half of the capacity installed is stored by using molten salts (3796 MW) and the rest has no storage system to back-up the energy (2280 MW) (see Fig. 9). Just 3 MW with packed-bed as the storage media are operational in Morocco (Airlight Energy Ait-Baha Pilot Plant).
