Abstract

Carnot battery is an emerging energy storage technology characterized by low cost and independence from geographical constraints. The use of latent heat thermal energy storage in Carnot battery results in high energy density, offering broad application prospects. This paper constructs a Carnot battery system based on a packed bed latent heat storage and establishes its dynamic model. The analysis includes the impact of heat transfer fluid flow rate and organic working fluid mass flow rate on system performance. A functional relationship for the mass flow rates of the heat transfer fluid and organic working fluid has been established at a design power of 1000 kW. Subsequently, using the NSGA-II algorithm for multi-objective optimization with roundtrip efficiency and energy density as optimization objectives. After balancing using the LINMAP method, the roundtrip efficiency and energy density obtained were 62.74% and 12.96 kWh/m3.
