The storage of fluctuating renewable energy is critical
to increasing
its utilization. In this study, we investigate an energy conversion
and storage system with high energy density, called the chemical looping
solid oxide cell (CL-SOC) system, from the integrated perspectives
of redox kinetics and system design. The proposed system generates
electricity, reproduces hydrogen, and stores it via metal oxide redox
reactions in combination with a standard pressure fluidized bed reactor
and a reversible solid oxide cell (SOC). We conducted redox kinetic
analyses of Fe supported on an Fe-doped calcium titanate carrier in
redox reaction using the modified shrinking core model and determined
the scale of a fluidized bed reactor by developing the numerical Kunii–Levenspiel
reactor model. Furthermore, the SOC redox system was modeled to estimate
the round-trip efficiency and the system cost. The CL-SOC system achieved
a stable hydrogen charge and discharge rate operation (i.e., constant
redox reaction rate) in the fluidized bed reactor. It also achieved
the reduction of system cost compared to the conventional high-pressure
hydrogen storage system. In addition, the levelized cost of storage,
including electricity costs, was calculated, and the advantage was
also discussed. In this way, this study describes the integrated method
of the CL-SOC system evaluation, which will provide a guide for material
and system design.
