Energy storage systems could be integrated with nuclear power plants to increase flexibility and potentially enhance revenues. This session will cover energy storage technologies that could couple to various coolant temperatures (medium- to high-temperature) or be integral to a plant's design. Energy storage classes include, but are not limited to, electrochemical batteries, mechanical compression/liquefaction of fluids, gravitational potential energy, heat storage materials (solids, liquids, gases; single- and multi-phase fluids), and power-to-X/synfuels.
