The use of molten salt energy storage in conjunction with a cogeneration unit for peak shaving can effectively reduce the incidence of wind and solar energy curtailment. The multi-steam source energy storage mode is proposed based on the heat transfer characteristics of molten salt.
Molten salt is therefore an option when geography prevents hydropumping and requires higher energy density storage. Molten salt can function as a large-scale thermal storage method that would allow other energy sources, such as nuclear and solar, to become more feasible by smoothing out the fluctuations in demand and weather.
These practices help protect the environment and ensure long-term energy security, enabling a more resilient and cost-effective energy landscape for future generations. Molten salt energy storage operates by employing a heat transfer medium made of molten salt, which can store thermal energy at high temperatures.
Furthermore, under the multi-steam source energy storage mode, the peak shaving and peak promotion capabilities are significantly enhanced. Molten salt serves as an excellent material with favorable thermodynamic properties for energy storage.
