“…With this, a rough but solid assessment of the heat exchanger operation is possible, enabling the estimation of the extension of each region (l, 2p, v) during reversible operation. The transferred heat in the heat exchanger in relation to the heat exchanger area is the specific heat flow density, as shown in Equation (1). The total amount of transferred heatQ is known because of the design boundary conditions and experimental data.…”

“…In medium-and large-scale applications for midterm storage duration (hours to days), the use of pumped thermal energy storages (PTES) is increasing. These employ Carnot batteries which are presented with different concepts for a huge range of applications [1]. The heat pump cycle (HP) converts low temperature heat into high temperature heat by the use of electrical energy.…”

The combined heat pump–organic Rankine cycle is a thermal–electrical storage concept which allows the reversible use of components in both operation modes (loading and unloading the storage). This saves in terms of investment costs but also creates challenges during design and operation. A heat exchanger is an expensive component destined to be used for the reversible purposes of a heat pump condenser and an organic Rankine cycle evaporator. In this study, the operation of such an apparatus was evaluated based on an analytical model, experimental data and thermal imaging. This study shows that the model can predict the filling of the apparatus distinguished by liquid, vapour and the two-phase region. The thermal imaging supports the model and gives the location of the regions. Connecting both methods, a valid statement about the current condition of the heat exchanger is possible. Due to very small pinch points, the apparatus is not efficiently used in the investigated modes. Extending the pinch to 2 K can already save up to 46.1% of the heat exchange area. The quality of the heat transfer in the evaporator (q˙ORC = 10.9 kW/m2) is clearly higher than in the condenser (q˙HP = 6.1 kW/m2).

“…The maximum electrical output power is then 1.5 MW, while the storage has a capacity of 30 MWh electric, with a round-trip efficiency of about 45% [8][9][10]. Further, two thermally integrated PTES (TI-PTES) with heat pump/organic Rankine cycle in lab-scale were built in Liege, Belgium [18]. Utilising waste thermal energy at 75 °C as the cold source for the heat pump a round-trip efficiency of 100% is reached [18,19].…”

As part of the change towards a higher deployment of renewable energy sources, which naturally deliver energy intermittently, the need for energy storage systems is increasing. For compensation of disturbance in power production due to inter-day to seasonal weather changes, long-term energy storage is required. In the spectrum of storage systems, one out of a few geographically independent possibilities is the storage of electricity in heat, so-called Carnot-Batteries. This paper presents a Pumped Thermal Energy Storage (PTES) system based on a recuperated supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle. The modelled system provides a round-trip efficiency of 38.9%.

“…Además, estas reacciones juegan un papel clave en las pilas de combustible donde la oxidación de compuestos químicos como hidrógeno, metanol e hidrocarburos genera energía eléctrica con una mayor eficiencia en la conversión que la obtenida con energía térmica basándose en el ciclo de Carnot, que es aproximadamente del 30 %. [50][51][52] Además de la catálisis térmica y la electrocatálisis, los materiales derivados del grafeno también presentan actividad fotocatalítica donde la energía de los fotones es absorbida por el material, produciéndose un estado se separación de cargas electrón-hueco. [53][54][55] Así, este estado de separación de cargas puede ocasionar reacciones de reducción u oxidación.…”
