AMADEUS Project Deliverable 1.4: Annual Technical Progress Report
This document reports the technical progress during the first year of the AMADEUS project. AMADEUS project (www.amadeus-project.eu) aims to develop a new technology for energy storage based on ultra-high temperature (UHT) latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) materials and solid state energy converters. The main motivation of this research is the very high latent heat of silicon and silicon-boron alloys if compared with other kinds of phase change materials (PCM) such as molten salts. Energy densities beyond 1 kWh per liter are attainable, which is among the largest energy densities of any other storage technologies. The main challenge concerning the use of these new PCMs is their ultra-high temperature (UHT) of fusion, which implies several concerns on the material compatibilities for the container, along with other issues such as thermal insulation and heat transfer during melting and solidification. Another relevant aspect is the energy conversion of the latent heat into electricity at very high temperatures. In this regard, solid state energy converters based on radiative (rather than conductive) heat transfer mechanisms are being investigated in this project, i.e. thermionics and thermophotovoltaics. In particular, AMADEUS project investigates a new concept for heat-to-power conversion at UHT named hybrid thermionic photovoltaic (TIPV) converter that directly converts into electricity both the electron and photon fluxes that irradiated by incandescent surfaces.
