Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the viability of implementing the methodology proposed in the SFERA-III project for the assessment of key performance indicators (KPIs) of thermal storage prototypes in a specific packed-bed device. SFERA-III project is an EU funded project aiming, among others, to upgrade the infrastructures and services related to Concentrating Solar Thermal technologies. In order to improve the quality of services in relation to the testing of thermal energy storage prototypes, a protocol and KPIs were defined and validated with different types of devices, though none of them was a packed-bed. This study elucidates the challenges encountered in the implementation of the protocol on a packed-bed prototype, alongside the proposed alternative solutions and their influence on the resulting KPIs. The analysis demonstrates that the SFERA-III Key Performance Indicators are an appropriate means of evaluating packed bed thermal energy storage prototypes. Consequently, the use of these KPIs as a standard is supported.

按关键性能指标对 SFERA-III 项目的 ALTAYR 填料床原型进行鉴定

本研究的目的是评估实施 SFERA-III 项目中提出的方法的可行性，以评估特定填料床设备中热存储原型的关键性能指标 (KPI)。SFERA-III 项目是一个由欧盟资助的项目，其目标之一是升级与聚光太阳能热技术相关的基础设施和服务。为了提高与热能存储原型测试相关的服务质量，该项目定义了一项协议和关键绩效指标，并对不同类型的设备进行了验证，但其中没有一个是挤压床。本研究阐明了在填料床原型上实施协议时所遇到的挑战，以及所提出的替代解决方案及其对所产生的关键绩效指标的影响。分析表明，SFERA-III 关键性能指标是评估填料床热能储存原型的适当方法。因此，支持将这些关键性能指标用作标准。

期刊介绍： Applied Energy serves as a platform for sharing innovations, research, development, and demonstrations in energy conversion, conservation, and sustainable energy systems. The journal covers topics such as optimal energy resource use, environmental pollutant mitigation, and energy process analysis. It welcomes original papers, review articles, technical notes, and letters to the editor. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, development, and implementation. The journal addresses a wide spectrum of topics, including fossil and renewable energy technologies, energy economics, and environmental impacts. Applied Energy also explores modeling and forecasting, conservation strategies, and the social and economic implications of energy policies, including climate change mitigation. It is complemented by the open-access journal Advances in Applied Energy.
