Pumped thermal energy storage (PTES) as smart sector-coupling technology for heat and electricity
The focus is on the technological possibility of using pumped thermal energy storage as a sector-coupling technology for heat and electricity through low temperature heat integration. In addition, new findings of an in-depth numerical simulation of a fully heat-integrated, subcritical PTES using butene as the working fluid are presented.
