Heat pump-Carnot battery system for residential PV storage - pv magazine Global

Italian researchers have developed a reversible heat pump-ORC Carnot battery that stores surplus residential PV electricity as heat and converts it back into electricity when needed. Simulations showed that optimizing the ORC expander speed could raise round-trip efficiency to 35%, while enabling the system to meet the modeled household’s daily electricity demand.
