Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew When does it make sense to buy electricity directly from the grid?

Sandy solution for renewable energy storage; Thermal Energy Storage System

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy sources generally spill energy due to supply and demand mismatches, so we’ve designed the TESS device to capture this ‘spilt’ energy for later use or release to the grid. Our system also means that energy consumers will be able to purchase stored electricity off-peak at low tariffs, which ultimately means cheaper energy.
