AbstractPacked bed heat storage systems offer a great potential for the further reduction of the LCOE of CSP-plants. The use of cost effective and local available storage materials like gravel or silica sand is a key factor for such systems. But also concerning the performance during charging and discharging of the system, the storage material has a huge influence.In this paper the influence of small grained storage material is investigated using theoretical models and experimental results. The results show, that with small grained materials with diameters of 2 mm or less a very sharp temperature behavior could be achieved during charging. The boundary layer between the hot and the cold storage material (the so called thermocline) is very s...
