New Technology Enables Renewable Energy Heaters to Store Energy for Days

Researchers at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a technology that reveals how heaters powered by renewable energy sources like wind and solar can raise the temperature of, or TES, which normally uses molten salts or even superheated rocks ​​to store energy and shows promise as a low-cost alternative to existing storage solutions.

A laboratory-scale prototype validated the technology and allowed researchers to create a computer model that shows a commercial-scale device would retain more than 95% of its heat for at least five days.have really cornered the market at two to four hours of storage, but if we want to achieve our carbon reduction goals, we will need long-duration energy storage devices—things that can store energy for days,” Jeffrey Gifford, a postdoctoral fellow at NREL who is involved in the development, said in a media statemen
