Back to the Future<\/em> movie fans may remember the term \u201cflux capacitor\u201d as a fictional device that allows for time travel. That device still doesn\u2019t exist, but a 麻豆原创 storage technology does use a different type of flux capacitor developed by NASA.<\/p>\n

While trying to find a way to store renewable energy (like solar and wind) and then use it when needed, 麻豆原创 Pegasus Professor Jayanta Kapat and researchers Marcel Otto and Ladislav Vesely found that NASA\u2019s Cryogenic Flux Capacitor (CFC) could be part of the solution.<\/p>\n

The 麻豆原创 team recently invented a way to cost-efficiently convert excess renewable energy to hydrogen and oxygen and store it long-term \u2014 days, weeks or even months. Later, when the energy is needed, it\u2019s reconverted and added to the electrical grid. That on-demand capability enables power companies to meet and balance the energy needs of a community not just from day to day, but from season to season.<\/p>\n

Kapat, who directs the 麻豆原创 Center for Advanced Turbomachinery and Energy Research<\/a>, says that lithium battery systems are fine for short periods \u2014 a few hours to a day.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut suppose a hurricane comes and causes a blackout for a week?\u201d he says. \u201cOr it\u2019s a very bad winter out West and they do not have a lot of renewable resources?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about having the morning to night kind of storage, but it is from one season to another season kind of storage too,\u201d he says. \u201cSummer could be a time when you\u2019ve got excess energy, like solar, and winter could be a time when you need the energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blending Renewable Energy for the Electrical Grid<\/h2>\n

Designed to help resolve that kind of mismatch between demand and available power, the 麻豆原创 invention (called an H2\/O2 Direct-fired sCO2 Power System) blends the use of renewables to keep electrical grids going.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use that excess electricity from renewables to electrolyze water and make hydrogen and oxygen, and then we store them separately,\u201d Kapat says.<\/p>\n

Later, when electricity is needed, the 麻豆原创 technology combines the stored hydrogen and oxygen in a combustion chamber. The combination forms water, which heats and mixes with supercritical sCO2. Part of the closed-loop power system, sCO2 is a nontoxic, nonflammable, low-cost working fluid used to run turbine systems that generate electricity.<\/p>\n

Kapat says the technology is a closed system without any nitrogen or air present and recycles the water from the combustion, storing it in a reservoir for the next cycle.<\/p>\n

With NASA\u2019s CFCs as the storage mechanism, the 麻豆原创 system can house the hydrogen and oxygen separately using conduits and pressure valves until they are needed. The CFCs contain retention material that adsorbs the hydrogen and oxygen for storage. They keep the gases at liquid-like densities, applying moderate pressures and temperatures without the need for liquefaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the energy requirement as compared to liquid hydrogen weighs less over time, making it more attractive for long-term storage,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Safeguarding the Environment<\/h2>\n

One of the benefits of the technology over other systems is that it does not emit harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) since air is not included in the hydrogen-oxygen combustion process. These are known for causing acid rain, smog and gases that damage the ozone layer.<\/p>\n

A second environmental plus is that the system can be installed and operated in an area with little or no water sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not have to worry about where to get the water,\u201d Kapat says. \u201cSo, there\u2019s no need to constantly use groundwater or water from sources like rivers and lakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vesely says another benefit of the technology is its compact size.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need much of a footprint to build the system,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Looking Beyond Power Grids<\/h2>\n

Otto says in addition to traditional power grids, the invention could be used for other applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see using this technology as a backup system for a data center, a hospital or some facility that needs to be available 24\/7,\u201d Otto says. \u201cOr to reduce the emissions capacity to replace a diesel generator.\u201d<\/p>\n

In agreement, Kapat notes that the power generation market is changing drastically, and the idea of a large central power grid supplied by a utility company may not exist in 20 years as it does today.<\/p>\n

For example, he says that instead of one system powering hundreds of thousands of homes, there could be a group of smaller systems each powering a few thousand for a local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy doing this in distributed systems, the whole structure becomes more resilient and not everybody gets affected,\u201d he says. \u201cThus, a smaller portion of people get affected because everybody else can live off their own energy storage system.\u201d<\/p>\n

This format also offers more control, he says.<\/p>\n

In the case of an upcoming hurricane, an area might determine that severe weather could cause a maximum outage of one week. In preparation, the area would split the water and store the resulting hydrogen and oxygen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it ends up being enough for four weeks, then you know that you can survive for four weeks,\u201d Kapat says.<\/p>\n

The invention supports the storage needs of other industries, such as aviation, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanes cannot be directly powered by solar or electricity \u2014 we need the fuel,\u201d Kapat says. \u201cHydrogen can be used there too, where we convert renewables into a storable chemical and then use it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for future plans, Kapat says the team is continuing to research ways to optimize the storage. They are also promoting the technology to the U.S. Department of Energy and working to secure funding for more testing.<\/p>\n
