  4. 9. Integration of an industrial heat pump for a TES-based power-to-heat system : A techno-economic assessment

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Cristian Contreras Aramayo; [2023]
    Keywords : Heat; electricity; industrial heat pump; power-to-heat;

    Abstract : This work aims to investigate the potential electricity savings, as well as the potential decrease in LCoH and OPEX, that an integration of an industrial heat pump can have on a molten salt-based power-to-heat system with integrated thermal energy storage. The original system uses an electric heater to heat up molten salt, which acts as the heat transfer fluid of the system, from which heated steam can be produced and delivered at the output.
