megawatts (MW), it is Vattenfall’s first large storage project in the Netherlands. It is meant to maintain the security of supply with a feed-in of 100% renewable energy. In addition, the battery storage contributes to the improvement of the network quality and the more efficient use of the existing network structure.

The startup Kyoto Group , based in the Netherlands, is targeting this industrial use of heat with their thermal storage system, which stores energy in the form of molten salt. Their system can take electricity or heat as input and releases hot air or steam in the range of 170 to 400 degrees Celsius as output.

Everybody knew then that renewables were unreliable: that wind power fully works less than one-third of the time, and that solar power is unavailable at night (of course) and less efficient on cloudy winter days. The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades. This was plain wrong.
