Definitions
- the invention relates to a thermal storage regenerator, and to a thermal installation comprising such a regenerator.
- the storage of energy for example heat energy, serves to shift the production and consumption of said energy in time.
- Heat energy storage is also useful for utilizing soft energies, such as solar energy, which are renewable but are produced intermittently. Energy storage can also be useful for exploiting differences in electricity prices between off-peak hours, during which the electricity tariffs are the lowest, and peak hours, during which the tariffs are the highest. For example, in the case of compressed air energy storage, generating heat energy which is stored in a thermal regenerator, the compression phases consuming electricity are advantageously carried out at minimum cost during off-peak hours, while the expansion phases producing electricity are carried out during peak hours, in order to supply electricity which can be injected into the grid, in accordance with demand, at an advantageous tariff.

- the storage operation by heat exchange between a stream of heat transfer fluid and the regenerator, is conventionally called the charge phase, the heat transfer fluid entering the regenerator during the charge being called the charge heat transfer fluid.
