Load shifting of nuclear power plants using cryogenic energy storage technology

Performance analysis of liquid air energy storage utilizing LNG cold energy

“…Because the liquefaction process and recovery process are not carried out simultaneously, the cold energy storage working medium is needed. The cold liquid fluids are preferred to the solid media such as pebbles or concrete due to the higher heat transfer coefficient of air and fluids [6]. The R123 and propane are taken as the cold fluids in this paper considering the heat capacity and freezing point.…”

Performance evaluation of various cryogenic energy storage systems

“…Recently, Akhusrst [7] published a report regarding the use of liquideair in the energy and transport systems, indicating the important potential of CES for those applications. In terms of CES applications Li et al [12] proposed a combination of nuclear power plants and CES for load shifting at peak hours. The same authors proposed a new hybrid system comprised of a solar thermal plant and a cryogen fueled power system [13], indicating that this approach provides more power than the summation of the two systems working separately.…”

Silver Buckshot or Bullet: Is a Future “Energy Mix” Necessary?

“…Mixed with carbon dioxide (captured and stored from burning fossil fuels, or absorbed from the atmosphere [85]) or nitrogen, that hydrogen can be used to fabricate virtually any of the liquid fuels we use today, including gasoline and jet fuel, butanol, methanol, ammonia, etc. [86,87] or more exotic energy-storage media based on refined metals [31,88]. Advanced energy storage integrated with IFRs will provide greater flexibility of the reactor operation and higher energy efficiency that can replace the use of "backup" open-cycle gas generation entirely [89].…”
