VHTTES – VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE

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.
