Technical FAQs 4

Can a coal-fired power plant have a thermal energy storage unit?

Using a typical 600 MW subcritical coal-fired power plant as a reference, a coupled system model—including the coal-fired power plant, a heat pump thermal energy storage unit, and a steam thermal energy storage unit—is developed using Aspen Plus.

Why should we convert coal-fired power plants into energy storage systems?

For instance, in the United States, converting coal-fired power plants into energy storage systems provides economic benefits, including reduced decommissioning costs, job preservation, enhanced grid reliability, and smoother integration of renewable energy.

How can we repurpose coal power plants into storage systems?

Pathways for repurposing coal power plants into storage systems through Carnot Batteries schemes (Chile). Feasibility study of retrofitting Coal Power Plants in Chile (Chile). Conversion of the Guacolda thermoelectric plant to green ammonia (Chile).

Can a coal power plant be converted into a thermal storage power plant?

The conversion of the coal power plant into a thermal storage power plant shows a maximum reduction level of around 91.4% for the configuration with an inlet air temperature of 650 ◦C and a storage capacity of 8 h (see Table 1 for reference CO2 emissions).
