Thermodynamic analysis and operation strategy optimization of coupled molten salt energy storage system for coal-fired power plant
During discharge of the TES-CFPP system, the heat stored in the molten salt enters the turbine system, thereby generating more output power. As shown in Fig. 3, the DEA outlet feed water was partially diverted to MSH2 for heat exchange with the molten salt flowing from the hot tank (HT), and the cooled molten salt entered the cold tank (CT)
Pumped Storage Hydropower | Department of Energy
What is Pumped Storage Hydropower? Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into
