Thermo-economic analysis of steam accumulation and solid thermal energy storage in direct steam
OverviewHistoryChargeDischargeSee alsoSourcesExternal linksA steam accumulator is an insulated steel pressure tank containing hot water and steam under pressure. It is a type of energy storage device. It can be used to smooth out peaks and troughs in demand for steam. Steam accumulators may take on a significance for energy storage in solar thermal energy projects. An example is the PS10 solar power plant near Seville, Spain and one planned for t
