Advanced Turbine Airfoils for Efficient CHP Systems: Energy Storage Integration Analysis
This report documents the energy storage systems (ESS) integration portion of the work conducted under the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) Lab Call DE-LC-000L059 project titled "Advanced Turbine Airfoils for Efficient CHP Systems." The objective of this work is to analyze the previously-developed combined heat and power (CHP) plant with the upgraded gas turbine to include an ESS to improve the operational flexibility. The analysis includes identifying a candidate CHP configuration for the ESS integration and identifying possible storage systems to be integrated. A qualitative analysis was made to down select possible storage technologies and a techno-economic analysis (TEA) was made for the CHP system with the selected storage technology.
