ABSTRACT:
Advanced thermal energy storage concepts were developed and evaluated which are applicable to a 100 MWe solar central receiver plant using water/steam as the working fluid. Operating conditions studied were 5l0C/10.l MPa (950F/ 1465 psia) from the receiver and 299C/2.72 MPa (570F/395 psia)
(MBTESS) using a free flowing refractory material as the heat transport and storage media was chosen. A conceptual design was developed, including estimates for cost and performance. Suggestions were made for further development work leading to full scale implementation of the concept.

from storage. Three concepts were selected that offered potential for cost and performance improvements over the oil/rock concept presently being installed at the central receiver 10 MWe pilot plant under construction in Barstow, California. From the three concepts selected, the moving bed thermal energy storage system (MBTESS) using a free flowing refractory material as the heat transport and storage media was chosen. A conceptual design was developed, including estimates for cost and performance. Suggestions were made for further development work leading to full scale implementation of the concept.
