Economic analysis of a compressed air energy storage system coupled with molten salt thermal storage system
As a large scale of physical energy storage technology
compressed air energy storage technology is widely used in consumption of renewable energy and peak shaving of power grids. A compressed air energy storage system coupled with molten salt thermal storage is designed
and the composite system is modeled using Ebsilon software. Based on the operating conditions of the energy storage system supplying hot water
steam
and electricity
the exergy efficiency
thermal efficiency
and economic performance under different operating modes are studied. The results indicate that
the composite system achieves the highest exergy efficiency(64.98%) at a storage pressure of 7 MPa and an exhaust temperature coefficient of 1.96. The highest thermal efficiency(91.55%) is attained at a storage pressure of 12 MPa. In the application scenario of combined heat
steam
and electricity cogeneration
the optimal energy storage duration is 6 hours. Additionally
at gas storage pressures of 7 MPa and 12 MPa
the optimal power generation durations are 6 hours and 8 hours. This research provides theoretical guidance for the study of cogeneration of power and heating using compressed air energy storage system coupled with molten salt thermal storage system.
