Malta has developed a long-duration energy storage solution that leverages steam-based heat pump technology to provide a cost-efficient, flexible, and integration-ready option for utility and industrial clients.
Q: Malta’s solution lies in thermo-electric energy storage. Why is this system so innovative, and what are its main keys? A: It combines well-established thermodynamic principles with modern technological advancements to create a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient energy storage solution.
Malta’s system also achieves a power-to-power charge/discharge round-trip efficiency (RTE) of up to 60%, which is about 50% higher than other thermal storage systems without heat pump charging.
A: A Malta storage unit can be charged and discharged 100% in unlimited cycles without degradation of the storage media. As the main storage medium, Malta has selected a natural thermo-solar salt sourced by solar evaporation (e.g., in the Atacama Desert of Chile).
Designed to accelerate decarbonization, Malta SEMS offers grid-scale, synchronous, long-duration storage with unmatched adaptability. Its ability to supply both power and heat makes it the lowest-cost alternative for a single plant, enabling asset owners to adapt to unpredictable market changes over the next decade.
Malta delivers outsized, quantifiable commercial value to a diverse range of customers, empowering them with clean and dispatchable power and heat to achieve their decarbonization and reliability goals. We’re focused on helping to build a more sustainable future.
