Power plant with steam cycle and with a high temperature thermal energy exchange system and method for manufacturing the power plant

A method for manufacturing the power plant with the steam cycle, with following manufacturing step:

• providing a power plant with at least one steam cycle and with at least one high temperature thermal energy exchange system, with at least one heat exchange chamber with chamber boundaries which surround at least one heat exchange chamber interior of the at least one heat exchange chamber, wherein the chamber boundaries comprise at least one inlet opening for guiding in an inflow of at least one heat transfer fluid into the at least one heat exchange chamber interior and at least one outlet opening for guiding out an outflow of the heat transfer fluid out of the at least one heat exchange chamber interior;
• at least one heat storage material is arranged in the at least one heat exchange chamber interior such that a heat exchange flow of the heat transfer fluid through the heat exchange chamber interior causes a heat exchange between the heat storage material and the heat transfer fluid;
• and the high temperature thermal energy exchange system comprises at least one retrofit component with which the power plant with steam cycle is equipped;
• retrofitting an existing power plant which comprises at least one steam cycle with at least one part of a high temperature thermal energy exchange system.
