5 FAQs about [Energy storage tank farm prospect analysis]

Why do bulk storage tanks need a specific design?

Similar to the design of existing energy storage tanks, bulk storage require a specific design in order to increase the heat transfer rate — e.g., by inserting fins to increase the exchange surface and by adding high conductivity particles.

Does a tank shape improve TES efficiency compared to a shallow pit?

As for the TES geometry, the outcomes suggested the outperformance of the tank shape compared to the shallow pit. Several performance measures (i.e. energy efficiency, energy capacity efficiency and exergy efficiency) emphasized a notable increase in TES efficiency when a tank shape was considered.

Do energy storage systems satisfy the load demand?

The combination of HTs and FCs, i.e. energy-storage systems, satisfied ~16.7% of the load demand. Economic analysis was further conducted to assess the feasibility of the entire system. The LCOH production was found to be 3.117 $/kg and the LCOS was ~0.248 $/kWh.

Which tank shape has the best stratification quality?

Undoubtedly, it is revealed that a tank shape with (H/d = 1) exhibits the best stratification quality compared to other options. It also has less surface area and, consequently, less thermal loss. Thereby, this tank has higher quality of energy delivered to DH in terms of temperature.

Why do tank & hybrid tanks have a higher thermal loss?

The reason behind is that the tanks and hybrids achieve better (SA/V) ratio leading eventually to fewer thermal losses and, subsequently, a higher amount of discharged heat. On the other hand, as the shallow pits size increases, the top and bottom areas then drastically increase compared to the other geometries.
