Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a thermal power station (1) comprising (a) at least one thermal energy storage (10) having a housing (11), a storage chamber (12) with heat storage material (13) inside the storage chamber (12) and a fluid inlet port (14) fluidically connected to the storage chamber (12) and a fluid outlet port (16) fluidically connected to the storage chamber (12), and (b) a Brayton cycle heat engine (20) comprising a gas turbine (21), a cooler (23) and a compressor (24) connected with each other by means of a closed cycle (26) containing a second working fluid (B), whereby (c) the Brayton cycle heat engine (20) further comprises a control unit arranged for operating the Brayton cycle heat engine (20) according to a Brayton cycle, (d) the gas turbine (21) is thermally coupled to the at least one thermal energy storage (10) by means of a first heat exchanger (25) and a first working fluid (A), the first working fluid (A) being different from the second working fluid (B), and (e) the gas turbine (21) is connected to a generator (30) for producing electrical power by means of the thermal energy from the thermal energy storage (10). The invention further relates to a method for generating electric power in a thermal power station (1). |
