Thermal Energy Storage in Dirt for Repowering Decommissioned Coal Plants

Thermal energy storage in dirt can have low energy-storage capacity costs, potentially allowing cost-effective repowering of decommissioned steam turbogenerators. Results from a stylized model indicate that thermal storage in dirt could play a substantial role in electricity systems reliant on wind,...
