Abstract :
[en] In the context of the Energy Transition, electricity storage
ranging from seconds to seasons is needed to increase the
integration of variable renewables sources. The power-tofuel
process uses a liquid energy vector with high energy
density for long-term energy storage. In the present work, we
simulate the power-to-methanol process in Aspen Plus.
Then, we use heat integration to increase the conversion
efficiency from 40.1 to 53.0 %, evidencing large improvement
potential thanks to process integration. Further work
includes experimental design and development of control
strategies.
