Thermochemical energy storage is emerging as a promising seasonal thermal energy storage technology. Strontium Bromide has recently become one of the most used salt hydrates for the salt-hydrate and moist airbased open thermochemical energy storage system. This article suggests that radial flow fixed bed reactors offer advantageous configurations owing to their lower pressure drop without compromising thermal performance.

This study experimentally investigates the scarcely studied stratified, oil-based sensible thermal energy storage (STES) tank, to examine the heat retention capability of Hytherm-600 silicone oil during the standalone period and its heat dispatchability during the discharging process. To conduct an experimental study on the thermic oil, a vertical cylindrical tank with a helical discharging coil fitted inside is used.

This paper discusses the need for green energy and the critical minerals needed for green energy production and their geological occurrences with a special focus on  lithium based minerals .

The auxiliary power required in the form of electrical energy for blowing the air through the packed bed reactor is an important consideration since it depends on various design parameters of the system. A radial flow annular reactor configuration is proposed in the present study. It shows a 65%-80% reduction in the flow work requirement. The parameters, such as the flow direction and flow rate, need to be optimized for better performance and to ensure lesser flow work requirements.
