TEDS Test Plan for Performance Characterization of Packed-bed Thermal Energy Storage Unit

Research output: Book/ReportTechnical Reportpeer-review

Abstract

This report proposes a set of test plans for performance measurement and characterization of the packed-bed thermal energy storage (TES) unit for TEDS. The main goals of this test plan are three-fold: (i) support the high-fidelity data measurement for TEDS, (ii) characterize thermal and structural performance of the TEDS TES unit, and (iii) produce high quality validation-oriented data. To achieve the goals, it is first suggested to revisit the instrument calibration and data sampling protocols applied during the startup and commissioning tests of TEDS, based on the observation from the recent CFD validation study using the TEDS TES operational data. The uncertainty quantification of the thermal and hydraulic measurements is also suggested. Lastly, test matrices are provided for charge, discharge, and standby modes of the packed-bed TES unit, respectively, to characterize the thermal and structural performances during the envisioned TEDS operations.
