| Abstract Scope |
Element sulfur with high thermal stability and low cost can be promising thermal energy storage (TES) medium for future high temperature power systems. In comparison to the current state of art molten salt TES, sulfur-based TES (SulfurTES) can provide a significantly wider operating temperature range, higher energy density, and lower system costs, while maintaining moderate material compatibility and thermal charge and discharge rate. The current presentation will introduce the recent studies of thermal performance characterization, corrosion rate quantification, and pilot-scale test system demonstration for this technology. Multiple system designs that are applicable in MW- to GW-scale thermal infrastructures will be discussed. The results will pave the way to scale up SulfurTES for future high-temperature energy storage and concentrated solar power industry. |
