E2S Power’s Solution to repurposing coal-fired plants by turning these into energy storage systems. While the boiler is replaced with the thermal storage module, all other plant components can be fully reutilized. At E2S Power, we’re developing a storage solution which in time can convert existing coal-fired plants into thermal batteries.
Several studies have been reported in the literature, particularly on power plant system modeling, and integration of sensible and latent heat-based energy storage systems with fossil power cycles , . Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is another form of energy storage that has been proposed for integration with fossil power plants.
At E2S Power, we’re developing a storage solution which in time can convert existing coal-fired plants into thermal batteries. This not only allows reusing existing infrastructure ” it also helps to protect local employment, which is a point of major political concern in many regions worldwide.
The electrolyzer integrated with a power plant uses electric power produced by the plant’s main electric generator to produce hydrogen. Therefore, during hydrogen production (charging cycle), the power output of the plant gets reduced.
TES is one of the most studied and deployed forms of energy storage technologies for power plant applications, which consists of heat storage in thermal reservoirs or a heating media for later use.
