Thermo-Mechanical Investigations of Packed Beds for High Temperature Heat Storage: Continuum Modeling

Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are central elements for various types of new power plant concepts, whereat packed beds represent a promising storage inventory option. Due to thermal expansion and shrinking of the packed bed’s particles during cyclic thermal charging and discharging o...
