6 FAQs about [Conversion of thermal power plants into energy storage]

Can thermal storage power plants achieve 100 % renewable power supply?

The paper at hand presents a new approach to achieve 100 % renewable power supply introducing Thermal Storage Power Plants (TSPP) that integrate firm power capacity from biofuels with variable renewable electricity converted to flexible power via integrated thermal energy storage.

Can coal plants be turned into renewable thermal power plants?

How would a coal plant be converted to electricity?

Conversion would repurpose most of a coal plant’s assets. Instead of burning coal for the heat, tanks of molten salts would be heated electrically by surplus PV and wind on the grid to “charge” the storage, which could then be “discharged” back to the grid on demand using the former coal plant’s existing power generation and transmission assets.

How can thermal storage power plants reduce the residual load gap?

The following key measures were introduced for its realization: 1. Introducing Thermal Storage Power Plants (TSPP) with about one third annual photovoltaic electricity share will reduce the need of renewable fuels for firm and flexible power generation to close the residual load gap.

What is thermal storage power plant (TSPP)?

Thermal Storage Power Plants (TSPP) that integrate solar- and bioenergy are proposed for that purpose. Finally, in the third phase, renewable power supply can be extended to other sectors via power-to-X technologies, reducing fossil fuel consumption for transport, heat and industrial purposes.

Why is bioenergy used in thermal storage power plants?

Bioenergy is used as primary fuel for Thermal Storage Power Plants in order to guarantee firm power capacity at any time just on demand in order to close the residual load gaps of the power sector. PV and energy storage integrated to TSPP save as much biofuel as possible in order to reduce the pressure on the limited available bioenergy resources.
