SOLAR ENERGY STORAGE IN CHEMICAL ENERGY

PRESENTED BY ANBU M. SUKANTA

INTRODUCTION
In chemical bonds by reversible thermochemical reactions Three categories
1. Thermochemical energy storage 2. Thermochemical pipeline energy transport 3. Chemical heat pump storage

THERMOCHEMICAL ENERGY STORAGE

Reversible reaction with a temperature T=H/ S. Exothermic decomposition Endothermic recombination Eg: NH4F(s) NH3 + HF H = 14.3 kJ T = 499 K Suitable for high temperature

THERMOCHEMICAL PIPELINE ENERGY TRANSPORT

Hypothetical reaction in pipelines instead of storage vessel. Low energy storage density High cost of compressed air storage

CHEMICAL HEAT PUMP STORAGE

A high temperature reaction is simultaneously coupled by carrier gas to a low temperature reaction having lower heat of reaction. MnCl2.NH3 MnCl2.2NH3 + 4NH3 CaCl2.8NH3 CaCl2.4NH3 + 4NH3 Sulphuric acid water system is closest to commercial availability.
