Cost-Effective, Build-Anywhere Particle Thermal Energy Storage Technology


"late stages of prototype testing a game-changing new thermal energy storage technology that uses inexpensive silica sand as a storage medium... Particles are fed through an array of electric resistive heating elements to heat them to 1,200°C... then gravity-fed into insulated concrete silos... storage of up to a staggering 26,000 MWh of thermal energy. With modular design, storage capacity can be scaled up or down with relative ease"
