EUDP 2016 HT-TES High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage
If we want to take action on our vision of being a fossil-free Europe, energy storage is a simple necessity. The idea is to heat a well-insulated bed of stones to 600 °C with air using low-cost electricity. The heat can be stored for up to a week without significant energy loss. The storage can be discharged as either electricity and/or heat.
If we want to take action on our vision of being a fossil-free Europe, energy storage is a simple necessity. This project is a so-called high-temperature thermal energy storage (HT-TES). The idea is to heat a well-insulated bed of stones to 600 °C with air using low-cost electricity. The heat can be stored for up to a week without significant energy loss. The storage can be discharged as either electricity and/or heat. A full-scale energy storage expect to achieve 50% efficiency on the electricity and 95% of the other 50% on heating.
The small scale stage deals with four work packages: communication, market conditions, pilot and demonstration.
- Communication package deals with 3 segments: the public, schools and specialists by conferences and the web. This applies not only to specialists but also to the public.
- Pilot package consists of a pilot plant at DTU Risø Campus, where the construction and efficiency of the equipment will be tested as well as different stone materials.
- Market conditions package contains studies and simulation of the services the storage will offer. Elucidation of legal and fiscal conditions for operation is also included.
