Thermodynamic Analysis of Kalina Cycle with TI-PTES System

Abstract

The fact that the energy produced by renewable sources cannot be consumed instantaneously has brought energy storage systems to the fore. Due to its low cost and ease of use, the thermally integrated pumped thermal energy storage (TI-PTES) system is widely used. In this study, unlike the literature, the Kaline cycle with TI-PTES system was investigated thermodynamically. In the system analysis, heat pump, evaporator and hot tank temperatures were selected as variable parameters and their effects on system performance were examined. The results showed that the system efficiency increases with the increase in evaporator temperature but the increase in hot tank temperature significantly reduces the system efficiency. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..
