Thermo-economic analysis of steam accumulation and solid thermal energy storage in direct steam
Steam accumulation is the simplest TES technology for DSG as steam is directly stored in a storage pressure vessel, i.e., steam accumulator (SA), in form of pressurised saturated water [16]. Discharging from SAs usually takes place from the top part of the vessel as it is filled with saturated steam at the saturation pressure.
