The basic engineering has just been completed for the VHTTES (Very High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage) shown in the figure. The storage systems are to be used in a solar power plant and in a thermal battery for storing electricity. The two storage tanks shown are flowed through with 1000 ° C hot air and have a usable storage capacity of 10 MWh each.
