An Analysis of Pumped Thermal Energy Storage With De-coupled Thermal Stores
Results from the first demonstration of Pumped Thermal Energy Storage (PTES) were published in 2019, indicating an achieved turn-round efficiency of 60–65% for a system capable of storing 600 kWh of electricity. PTES uses a theoretically reversible thermodynamic cycle involving compression and expan...
