CSP plant with a TES system The development of an efficient and cost-effective TES system is crucial for the future of CSP technologies .
The battery thermal management system ensures the battery's safety and efficiency by regulating its temperature conditions. In specific scenarios, such as high current rates or extreme environments, an efficient thermal management system is particularly crucial. For instance, thermal runaway can lead to fires or explosions [4, 5].
Rapidly monitoring and predicting the temperature distribution of the entire battery pack can enhance the efficiency of the thermal management system. In the past, individual battery cells were relatively small, for instance, the 18,650 batteries.
During the frequency regulation process, the current fluctuated sharply within a high amplitude, leading to an ever-changing heat generation rate and intensive thermal gradient within battery cells, which introduces critical challenges for the corresponding thermal management system design.
However, one of the key factors that determine the development of this technology is the integration of efficient and cost effective thermal energy storage systems, so as to (TES) overcome CSP’s intermittent characterand to be more economic ally competitive. This paper presents a review on thermal energy storage systems installed in CSP plants.
