Proc. ASME. ES2021, ASME 2021 15th International Conference on Energy Sustainability, V001T06A003, June 16–18, 2021
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: ES2021-63066
... Abstract This paper describes a terrestrial thermocline storage system comprised of inexpensive rock, gravel, and/or sand-like materials to store high-temperature heat for days to months. The present system seeks to overcome past challenges of thermocline storage (cost and performance...

Proc. ASME. ES2012, ASME 2012 6th International Conference on Energy Sustainability, Parts A and B, 299-305, July 23–26, 2012
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: ES2012-91069
... The overall efficiency of a Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant depends on the effectiveness of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system [1]. A single tank TES system consists of a thermocline region which produces the temperature gradient between hot and cold storage fluid by density difference [2...

Proc. ASME. ES2011, ASME 2011 5th International Conference on Energy Sustainability, Parts A, B, and C, 775-781, August 7–10, 2011
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: ES2011-54578
... 13 03 2012 The growing interest in large-scale solar power production has led to a renewed exploration of thermal storage technologies. In a thermocline storage system, heat transfer fluid (HTF) from the collection field is simultaneously stored at both excited and dead thermal states...
