Conventional generation units encounter a changing role in modern societies' energy supply. With increased need for flexible operation, engineers and project managers have to evaluate the benefits of technical improvements. For this purpose, a valuation tool has been developed, comparing...

The reversible exothermic reaction of CaO with water is considered one of the most promising reactions for high temperature thermal energy storage. In this paper, a novel technical design of a MW-scale thermochemical energy storage reactor for this reaction is presented. The aim is to provide an...
