Abstract
A thermal energy storage (TES) system was designed based on a packed bed of rocks as storing material and air as heat transfer fluid. A pilot-scale 6.5 MWhth TES unit was built and tested. A dynamic numerical heat transfer and fluid flow model was developed and experimentally validated with measurements obtained from the pilot-scale TES unit. The simulation model is applied to design an industrial-scale 100 MWhth TES unit for a solar power plant currently under construction in Morocco. © 2013 A. Steinfeld.
