Abstract (en)

A thermoelectric energy storage system (10) has an intercooler for intercooling a working fluid between two compression stages. The intercooling may be carried out by flashing a portion of the working fluid (taken from the output of an expander (20)) in a flash intercooler (28) and/or by heating a secondary thermal storage (46) with a further heat exchanger (30).
