MATERIAL TESTS WITH IRON SILICATE (1.8 - 2.4 MM)
- Environmental Technology Award 2017
STORASOL GmbH was nominated from a large number of applicants for the Baden-Württemberg Environmental Technology Prize 2017 for the high-temperature heat storage tank (HTTES). - Best Business IdeaSTORASOL GmbH wins the award in the category 'Advanced Stage' as 'Best Business Idea'.
Iron silicate with a grain size of 1.8 - 2.4 mm was tested as a new storage medium in our TESS 3A test storage facility. The first measurement results show very successful tests with an approx. 15 - 20 % higher energy density compared to silica sand.
This higher energy density enables a significantly smaller design of the HTTES, which means that the specific investment costs per kWh can be significantly reduced.
