In the low-temperature ranges, the increase in the energy storage capacity dominates the EXE. But in the high-temperature ranges, the degradation of the energy quality takes the lead. The EXE of the ESHT cycle increases significantly from 0.32 to 0.53 when the heat input temperature is lower than 70 °C, and then it decreases to 0.48.
