A proposed design for a Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) to make use of Portland General Electric's waste heat streams. This high-pressure and energy-rich saturated water stream will have its thermal energy transferred and stored thermochemically so that PGE may be able to make use of this heat at a later point in time. TCES is a new method of energy storage different to latent and sensible heat storage, and shows many promising benefits. In this video, the overall theoretical design of the salt-dehydration reaction based FBR is reviewed, and a value proposition is given to lay out the pros and cons of TCES for further implementation in Portland General Electric.
