Summary
A survey was conducted of currently available thermal energy storage and flywheel energy storage technology and development programs as they may apply to nuclear-based, burst power systems. The manner in which such storage systems may be used in closed cycle, regenerable burst systems is described for a number of cases utilizing the Boiling Potassium Rankine and Dual Loop Lithium Cooled LMRs and the Direct Cycle Brayton HTGR. In general, energy storage devices for such systems enable use of smaller power system components by allowing continuous operation over the duration of both the bursts and the regeneration time. The degree of size reduction depends principally on the required regeneration time.
