Grant Description: Area of Interest 1A Energy Storage Utilizing High Temperature Electrochemical Processes In addition to power generation, electrochemical principles embodied in fuel cell architectures are applicable to energy storage technologies. Fuel cell architectures enable larger scale and longer term energy storage than achievable using existing technologies. Availability of such energy storage technology would permit central peaking and load leveling using abundant and inexpensive coal without the need to consume more expensive fuels during peak periods. This should also avoid, reduce the need for central generation power plants to consume fuels such as natural gas during periods of high fossil fuel usage during cold winter periods when residential demand is highest for such fuels. Applications are solicited for research and development of innovative concepts that substantially improve the energy storage capabilities and cost of high temperature energy storage systems based on fuel cell architectures. High temperature electrochemical base energy storage concepts are sought that enable utilities to use coal-based power plants to meet variable daily peak load demands at a cost of electricity (COE) 25 percent lower than current alternatives for satisfying peak power and load leveling requirements. Energy storage and conversion roundtrip efficiencies of at least 60 percent are expected for stand alone systems, with greater overall efficiency attained through integration with other high temperature power generation systems. Concepts developed at lab-scale must be scalable for use in large central power or distributed generation. Proposed concepts and technologies must be consistent with the zero to near zero pollution emission and environmental hazard goals of the FutureGen, Climate Change and Clear Skies programs, including end of life disposal. Viable high temperature storage technologies, when integrated with other high temperature power generation systems, must be capable of achieving a commercially viable cost at annual production quantities of at least 250MW of capacity. The cost per kilowatt capacity at such production volumes and considering viable technical performance targets must be capable of achieving a capital cost of 350 dollars per kW.
