Thermal Energy Storage for TEPLATOR: Technology, Utilisation and Economics

Original language description

Generally, energy storage is a very current topic as renewable sources of energy produce cheaper but unpredictable energy. Energy storages became more common not even for electric but also for heat production. Because of stronger and smarter control systems and consumption predictions energy storage is becoming a solution for district heating. TEPLATOR is a critical assembly using already irradiated nuclear fuel from commercial light water power reactors which is not burnt up to its regulatory and design limits. This innovative concept for district heating could benefit from having a robust heat energy storage for compensation of: 1) TEPLATOR power fluctuations, 2) compensation and smoothing of the demand curve and 3) can serve as an emergency and safety heat sink. Thermal heat storage is a promising solution, when operating in a suitable temperature range, it could absorb adequate amount of heat in reasonable material volume and with good operation dynamics providing quick response for charging and discharging demands. In this paper we would like to point out and discuss benefits and possibilities of thermal energy storage operating with TEPLATOR.
