6 FAQs about [Kingston coal-to-electricity energy storage products]

Are energy storage technologies a viable solution for coal-fired power plants?

How will CCGT power Kingston?

Kingston’s generation will be replaced with the operation of a natural gas-fired CCGT combined with 16 dual-fueled aero-derivative combustion turbines, a 3 MW to 4 MW solar site, a 100-MW battery storage site, along with a new 161-kV switchyard on the Kingston Reservation. “ This will be a first-of-its-kind facility at TVA,” the utility noted.

What is a large scale electricity storage system?

One concept among CB considers the refurbishment of retiring fossil power plants, especially coal-fired ones, into large scale electricity storage systems. The concept is rather simple, power is converted to a high temperature heat by Joule heating. Heat is stored in suitable TES system until used instead of the fuel in the time of need.

Can energy storage systems be integrated with fossil power plants?

Several studies have been reported in the literature, particularly on power plant system modeling, and integration of sensible and latent heat-based energy storage systems with fossil power cycles , . Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is another form of energy storage that has been proposed for integration with fossil power plants.

What happened to the Kingston Fossil Plant in Tennessee?

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has moved to retire its iconic 1.3-GW Kingston Fossil Plant in Tennessee in 2027 and replace it—with notable urgency—with a 1.5-GW modern complex featuring a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant, aero-derivative turbines, 100 MW of battery storage, and up to 4 MW of solar generation.
