In contrast to compressed air energy storage, the compressed steam coupling system described in this article necessitates a smaller capacity of water storage tanks. Specifically, a 1300m3 water storage tank is sufficient to support uninterrupted deep peak regulation of a 200 MW unit for a duration of 8.58 h.
1.

Maximum release rate without steam entrainment (kg/m² h) = 220 x pressure (bar a) The steam accumulator in Example 3.22.2 is operating at 6 bar g (7 bar a). The maximum release rate without steam entrainment will be: 220 x 7 bar a = 1 540 kg/m² h. This is shown graphically in Figure 3.22.5.
Concentrated solar power (CSP) uses solar insolation to increase the temperature of heat transfer fluid (HTF), which can be used in a power block to produce power either by using a steam turbine or gas turbine. In CSP, the levelized cost of electricity is higher than conventional sources due to the intermittent nature of solar energy. The …

Performance of thermal energy storage and secondary steam Rankine cycle systems (discharging mode) The calculated average amount of stored heat in each TES-SSRC module is 390 MWh th (i.e., in all TES-1 and TES-2 tanks).
Accumulator to solar ratio is 0.84 and accumulators store 5MJ. 0.84 * 5 = 4.2, so for every solar panel we need 4.2MJ of storage. One storage tank of 165 degree steam holds 750MJ / 4.2 = 178.571428571 solar panels per steam tank. For 1 solar panel you thus need 1 / 178.571428571 steam tanks or 0.056, same as your result.

Just like any other energy storage technology, steam as energy storage works by charging and discharging. The Charge – The charging process involves filling the steam storage tank half-full with cold water. Thereafter, steam generated through solar heating is blown into the tank through perforated pipes located near the bottom of the tank.
