Modeling, Simulation and Optimal Operation of Multi-Extraction Packed-Bed Thermal Storage Systems

Solar thermal power technologies require storage systems to mitigate the natural variability of solar irradiation. Packed bed thermal storage systems (PBTES) offer a cost-effective solution using air as heat transfer fluid and rocks as a storage medium. Compared to its alternatives, however, PBTES p...
