Any substance that is at a temperature and pressure that is higher than its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist, but lower than the pressure needed to compress it into a solid, is referred to as a supercritical fluid (SCF).
Supercritical fluids are extraordinarily sensitive to tiny temperature changes; a small rise in temperature causes a significant rise in pressure.
This sensitivity is one of the main benefits of supercritical fluids in thermal energy storage. It basically indicates that less energy is lost when a fluid is heated to become a gas thanks to the higher thermal energy transfer efficiency.
The Global Supercritical fluid energy storage market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
New gas energy-storage technology termed supercritical carbon dioxide energy-storage (SC-CCES) has just been developed. In order to perform significant analysis on the variables that would have an impact on the SC-CCES system’s thermodynamic properties, this paper used the orthogonal method and variance analysis.
As a result, it was possible to identify important variables and their interactions in the energy-storage process, the energy-release process, and the entire energy-storage system.
Results indicate that interactions between the components have little bearing on the energy-storage process, the energy-release process, and the overall energy-storage process of the SC-CCES system; instead, the important factors mainly relate to the characteristics of the system component itself, which will serve as a guide for the optimisation of the thermal properties of the energy-storage system.Carbon dioxide that is super-critical (SC-CO2) has a temperature and pressure that are higher than the CO2 critical values.
Its physical characteristics also fall between the range of a liquid and a gas, and it has a high diffusion coefficient, a low viscosity, and a high density. A revolutionary form of energy storage called the Super-critical Compressed Carbon Dioxide Energy-Storage (SC-CCES) system substitutes SC-CO2 for air as the operating fluid.
These include the ways in which the parameters involved in the processes of energy storage and release had an impact on the thermodynamic features of the energy-storage system, as well as how these parameters interacted with one another.
