Proposal and Study of a Pumped Thermal Energy Storage to Improve the Economic Results of a Concentrated Solar Power That Works with a Hybrid Rankine–Brayton Propane Cycle

This work proposes a pumped thermal energy storage (PTES) integrated into the power block of a concentrated solar power plant. The power block operates under a Hybrid Rankine–Brayton (HRB) cycle using propane as the working fluid. During PTES charging, some thermal energy is obtained from a dedicate...
