Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.
The system stores thermal energy by heating or cooling rocks with air, offering a cost-effective solution for clean electricity – supporting the green energy shift.Walter Gerstle, who co-founded CSolPower LLC, is working with Sandia National Laboratories to develop his company’s thermal energy storage system and get it ready for commercial use.
McLaughlin, who worked on thermal energy storage, stated: “You need to have energy storage and dispatchable power when renewable energy is unavailable or when there’s a large spike in demand from the grid.” The technology has the potential to be used in various applications, including providing power during periods of high demand or when renewable sources are unavailable.
The engineers effectively created a compact 100-kilowatt-hour test rig to evaluate how well the rock bed performs at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility, according to Schroeder.is in progress, and modifications have been executed to showcase the bed's capacity to charge using an intermittent energy source.“One of the advantages of thermal energy storage in rocks is that it can be built anywhere. It can be commodified and doesn’t require extensive permitting.
