Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2703610A1] In a method for energy storing and short-term power generation, an intermediate storage of a CCS system is used to store the working fluid of a CO 2 based Rankine process. Liquid CO 2 is stored in an underground reservoir (10) arranged to continually receive liquid CO 2 at a first temperature from one or more CO 2 capture sites and to discharge liquid CO 2 to be transported to a final storage. The underground reservoir (10) is kept at a pressure of 8 - 10 bar. When short-term power generation is needed, liquid CO 2 is withdrawn from the underground reservoir (10), pressurized to about 40 - 50 bar, evaporated with the help of a low value heat source, and expanded in an expander turbine (13), which is connected to a generator (14). The expanded CO 2 is then condensed and returned to the underground reservoir (10) at a second temperature which is higher than the first temperature. When short-term power generation is no more needed, liquid CO 2 from the underground reservoir (10) is circulated through a heat pump (23) to cool the CO 2 until its temperature reaches the first temperature.
