Abstract

Energy storage technology is considered as a critical component of the current energy supply chain. The efficiency and dispatchability of power generation from renewable energy sources can be increased using thermal energy storage (TES). Moreover, high-temperature latent heat storage (depicted as thermal battery) can provide cost-competitive solution to obtain significant energy storage density and small charging duration. This study illustrates the methodology to compare the performance of thermal batteries with existing Li-ion batteries. The charging duration of the designed thermal battery is found to be 23 min smaller than Li-ion cell with the smallest heat flux (625 W/m2). Moreover, the gravimetric and volumetric energy density of the thermal battery is observed to be nearly four times higher than the selected Li-ion cell. This present study establishes the high-temperature latent storage-based thermal battery as a potential alternative to storage technology.
