  • Thermal energy storage system and method with heat recovery steam generator
    Patent number: 12723525
    Abstract: A system and method of retrofitting and operation, for a steam/media heat exchanger communicated with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and with a flow of heat storage media. The steam/media heat exchanger receives heat from the HRSG steam and transfers said heat to the storage media. A first tank in fluid communication with the steam/media heat exchanger receives and stores the heated storage media. A second tank is flow connected to supply media to heat exchangers. The HRSG can include superheaters, desuperheaters, reheaters, and reheater desuperheaters which can be retrofitted with the steam/media exchangers to reduce or eliminate desuperheaters. A water/media exchanger exchanges heat with media flowing between the tanks, and heaters can add heat to media flowing into the first tank.
