How it Works

       Thermal Energy Storage (TES)  can play a significant role in the efficient use and provision of thermal energy whenever there is a mismatch between energy generation and use.

​

    Energy may be stored in many ways ( e.g. electrical, chemical, kinetic,...), since large parts of the US and global economy involves thermal energy, the need to store thermal energy must be taken seriously.

Intermittent energy production systems are able to provide a steady temperature process heat with the help of TES batteries

Various intermittent energy sources could be used to charge the TES battery:

​                        -Solar PV Systems

                        -Solar Thermal Systems

                       

                     

                       

The output of the TES battery can be utilized in two ways:

          - Process Heat (≈ 90% efficient)

          - Electricity Generation (≈40% efficient)

-With Time of Use plans it can help avoid peak charges

-Curtailed Power from an Energy Grid

-On or Off Shore Wind Energy
