Process for the storage of thermal energy from solar systems with simultaneous production of fuels

摘要

This invention is a method for hybrid-sensitive - thermochemical storage of solar thermal energy, which arises during the daily operation of solar thermal power plants, in which the air is heated by concentrated solar radiation, using a solid redox material in the form of an immobile porous structure, in particular as a solid one Foam, grille, honeycomb or brick, in which part of the solar thermal energy is sensible and another part is stored in chemical compounds. In parallel, the disclosed process enables the production of hydrogen-based fuels through the partial oxidation of methane via the solid redox material.
