Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

The rising share of renewable energies leads to increased fluctuations in electrical power supply. One possibility to shift the surplus energy based on demand is a Carnot battery (CB). A CB uses a heat pump or resistance heater to convert and store thermal energy into electrical energy. Later, the stored thermal energy is converted back into electrical energy using a heat engine. This study investigates a CB with a two-zone tank for thermal energy storage. A transcritical process with CO₂ is applied for charging, while discharging employs a transcritical process with CO₂ and six refrigerants operating in a subcritical process. The transcritical process with CO₂ and the four most promising subcritical processes are compared regarding round trip efficiency and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) depending on the pinch points 5 K and 1 K in the heat exchangers. Additionally, the technology readiness level (TRL) is determined for these configurations. The results show round-trip efficiencies between 11.3% and 33.5% and LCOEs ranging from EUR 0.95 (kWh)⁻¹ to EUR 2.09 (kWh)⁻¹ for the considered concepts with TRLs of up to six.
