LUMENION thermal energy storage
Thermal energy storage systems for 100% renewable energy supply
With LUMENION’s innovative thermal energy storage system an immediate reduction of CO2 emissions becomes possible. LUMENION TES makes fluctuating renewable energies available for 24/7 use as process heat or for district heating, enabling reliable, cost-competitive, and zero-carbon heat supply.
LUMENION TES can be charged in about four to six hours – for example, when electricity prices drop during off-peak periods. The storage core is then heated up to 650 degrees. Whenever energy is needed, the stored thermal energy is transferred to a heat exchanger. Depending on the energy demand, our TES is scalable in size between 2 MWh and 1000+ MWh.
The basic idea of our power-to-heat technology is to shift the energy behind generation peaks out of the power grid and into the heat network – thus serving as a safety valve for the power grid. This ensures system security, maximises the use of energy generation plants, can compensate for grid bottlenecks and enables the decarbonisation of heat-driven processes. Wherever high-temperature steam is needed for industrial processes, the LUMENION storage system can be used as a quick solution for a climate-neutral energy supply.
