Summary: | A method for operating a pumped thermal energy storage ("PTES") system includes circulating a working fluid through a working fluid circuit, the working fluid having a mass flow rate and a specific heat capacity and balancing a product of the mass and the specific heat capacity of the working fluid on a high-pressure side of a recuperator and a low side of the recuperator as the working fluid circulates through the working fluid circuit. The PTES system includes a bypass in the working fluid circuit by which a first portion of the working fluid bypasses the high-pressure side of the recuperator while a second portion of the working fluid circulates through the high-pressure side of the recuperator. |
