4.1 Energy storage

Energy storage - motivationsSeveral reasons motivate the storage of energy, either as heat, cold, or electricity:

– Supplies of energy are in many cases intermittent: supply / demand mismatch

– Increased efficiency of energy use must be part of the future’s energy distribution and use methods

– Improved materials based on nanotechnology (for example) allow for more advanced energy-relatedapplications

– Linked to renewable energy phase-in / fossil energyphase-out

• less emissions to the atmosphere and other environmental impactbut (!) not necessarily water-use-efficient.

Energy storage – options 1/2 To be distinguished: storage of energy as physical

exergy, and storage as chemical exergy (fuels, batteries)

This gives the following main options:1. Storing energy as chemicalexergy electricity in batteries (chemical potential) or using heat or power to produce fuel (e.g. H2, ethanol) or reduced oxides (Si, Zn), including ”solar fuels”

Energy storage – options 2/2 This gives the following main options:

2. Storing energy as physical exergy:• Potential energy storage (e.g. pumped hydropower)• Compression/expansion of gas (e.g. compressed air storage)• Thermal storage as sensible heat: specific heat × Δ temperature• Thermal storage as latent heat: heat of vaporisation, condensation

Important are, besides (of course) energy storage density(ESD), (J/kg or J/m3):– Reversibility (i.e. repeatability) and stability (e.g. battery life,

melt/solidify/melt/solidify ....... stability)– Size and weight– Complexity and of course costs (capex, opex)

4.3 Thermal energy storage: cold


Cold thermal energy storage (CTES)

Night-time off-peak (cheaper) energycan be stored (batteries) for day-timepeak use for air conditioning

Cooling capacity can be stored as coldor frozen water, or other materials such as glycol and eutectic salt + water systems

Also special phase transitionmaterials (PCMs) were developed

Note also that with loweroutside (night-time) temperatures, cooling and freezing processes are more efficient!
