Re: [TRNSYS-users] Molten salt thermal storage

Dear Carlos Flores,

 If phase change is not a concern, my colleague is developing an expansion tank model that could perhaps be modified to accomodate. Otherwise, you could check the STEC Library, or I heard someone modify the Type10 Rockbed for high temperature storage as well.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Molten salt thermal storage

Dear All,

Last year we performed a TRNSYS modelling of a parabolic trough solar power plant for a research project.  Now, a second part of this project is to be performed, trying a variety of alternatives, and including molten salt thermal storage for the solar power plant.

I was wondering if anyone have used some TRNSYS component to model the molten salt storage or if there is actually a customised type that I can use for this purpose.  Has anyone used maybe a component of the TRNSYS Thermal Storage Library?

If anyone has any suggestion or guidelines I would be highly appretiated.  Thanks in advance, guys!
