Abstract

An energy storage device comprising a plurality of plates, each having a first surface and an opposite second surface. The first surface has a first plurality of grooves formed therein and the second surface is substantially flat. The device also comprises an inlet plenum configured to receive a heat transfer medium from a source and distribute the heat transfer medium through the grooves, and an outlet plenum configured to receive the heat transfer medium from the grooves and dispense the heat transfer medium to a return destination. Each groove extends from a first edge of a respective plate disposed closer to the inlet plenum to an opposite second edge disposed closer to the outlet plenum. The first surface of a first plate is disposed in direct contact with the second surface of an adjacent second plate to define a plurality of flow paths between the first and second plates for the heat transfer medium. A portion of heat in the heat transfer medium is transferred to the plates in a charging mode of operation when the heat transfer medium is able to be passed along the grooves or a portion of heat in the plates is able to be transferred to the heat transfer medium in a discharging mode of operation when the heat transfer medium is passed along the grooves.
