Abstract: A method may produce a heat regenerating material particle, including: preparing a slurry by adding a powder of the heat regenerating substance to an alginic acid aqueous solution and mixing the powder of the heat regenerating substance and the aqueous alginic acid solution; and forming a particle by gelling the slurry by dropping the slurry into a gelling solution. The gelling solution may include a metal element including calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg) beryllium (Be), strontium (Sr), aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). The forming may involve controlling the gelation time so that a concentration of the metal element in a first region of the particle becomes lower than a concentration of the metal element in a second region. The second region may be closer to an outer edge of the particle compared to the first region.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a hybrid combustion turbine power generation system, which includes a gas turbine integrated with an ACAES via fluid connection(s) between the compressor and turbine , to allow air to be extracted from, and injected into, the gas turbine, the ACAES including a direct TES and compressed air store , a top-up compressor being disposed between the fluid connection(s) and the direct TES and fluidly connected so that its inlet receives air extracted from the gas turbine in an extraction mode and its outlet sends air at a higher temperature and pressure towards the downstream direct TES , thereby optimising the temperature at which returning air is injected into the gas turbine in an injection mode. This may extend the operational power range of the gas turbine and address changes in the gas turbine operating conditions between injection and bleed modes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention utilize the geothermal energy exchanger and battery (GEEB) to recover and store thermal energy from the dwelling, from the ground, and from the Earth's atmosphere, reuse the thermal energy in another season of the year, and consume electrical energy to heat and cool the structure at electrical Off Peak time periods. The GEEB may be constructed of a compact steel, ribbed and waterproof permanent container that is set at a depth beneath the surface of the ground where the normal soil temperature is virtually constant year round. The container can then be encased in poured concrete, with the exception of piping or conduits. The container is then filled with a heat transfer fluid so that the entire thermal mass of the GEEB and heat transfer fluid reaches the ambient ground temperature and efficiently couples the load and source sides of a heating and cooling system.

Abstract: The invention refers to the method for the utilization of low-concentration mixtures of a combustible gas and air with the stable recovery of heat and the flow-reversal device for the embodiment of the method. The method consists in the combustion, with heat recovery, of the mixtures in the flow-reversal device having at least a single pair of combustion sections, each of which has the structural packing of monolith blocks with small channels characterized by low pressure drop, provided with an internal heating device, temperature and composition sensors and the elements of the automatic control system, supplied with the low-concentration mixture with the combustible component and connected with the heat recovery apparatus through the pipeline, wherein the quantity of energy transferred in the heat recovery apparatus (22) is stabilized by supplying additional fuel to the flow-reversal device, selecting the flow reversal moment, and selecting the flow rate for hot gas supplied by the pipeline to the heat recovery apparatus (22). Additional fuel in the form of highly concentrated fuel mixture is introduced as an admixture to the stream of low concentrated mixture containing the combustible component, supplied to the flow-reversal device or to the internal heating device (7). The device according to the invention, in its combustion sections (I, II) is provided with symmetrical temperature sensors (TI, TII) and an additional supply of highly concentrated combustible mixture (17) connected to the supply system for low-concentration mixture (15) with the combustible component or to the internal heating device (7). The combustion sections (I, II) are packed with heat-accumulating material (1,2) of small porosity of the specific surface area below 30 m2/g, and advantageously below 1 m2/g.
