Kizy electric thermal energy storage enterprise

What is a thermo-electric energy storage system?

This startup's technology stores energy as heat (in molten salt) and cold (in a chilled liquid) using a thermo-electric energy storage system. It is a flexible, low-cost, and adaptable utility-scale solution for storing energy at high efficiency over long periods of time.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal energy storage (TES) is a critical enabler for the large-scale deployment of renewable energy and transition to a decarbonized building stock and energy system by 2050.

Is thermal energy storage expensive?

Thermal storage systems based on phase transition materials (PCM) and thermo-chemical storage (TCS) are typically more expensive than the storage capacity they offer. The storage systems account for about 30% to 40% of the total system costs.

What are Steffes electric thermal storage systems?

Steffes Electric Thermal Storage systems are smarter, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly options. They improve efficiency by utilizing off-peak electricity, which is charged at a reduced rate since it is consumed when demand on the electrical grid is low.

What is the Thermal Energy Storage R&D program?

BTO's Thermal Energy Storage R&D program develops cost-effective technologies to support both energy efficiency and demand flexibility.

How can thermal energy storage improve thermal comfort?

Thermal energy storage can improve thermal comfort of occupants. Advances in thermal energy storage would lead to increased energy savings, higher performing and more affordable heat pumps, flexibility for shedding and shifting building loads.
