Steel Storage Pilot Launched

Steel Storage Pilot Launched

October 30, 2018 Sector-coupling low-cost giga-storage technology enables efficient electricity and heat supply using local renewable sources. A new steel-based thermal energy storage technology is being trialled in Berlin demonstrating how electricity and heat can be supplied cost-efficiently from regional renewable energy sources. The 2.4 Megawatt-hour (MWh) pilot project run by utility Vattenfall Energy Solutions, housing society Gewobag [...] Read More

Startup Lumenion presents pilot for power storage with steel plates

Clean Energy Wire
11 Dec 2019

Berlin-based energy startup Lumenion has presented the pilot of its 2.4-megawatt-hour (MWh) steel storage system in a housing project in Germany’s capital. The technology would allow the company to store excess renewable electricity – produced in especially windy and sunny periods – as heat (up to 650°C) in steel plates.

Flexible sector coupling: To date, the energy transition has unfolded primarily in the electricity sector. This
limitation should be overcome by sector coupling, which is basically electrification of the mobility and heat sectors.
But this alone does not offer a complete solution. Sector coupling must be flexible. To this end, a Berlin-based
startup is developing a colossal steel storage tank, and battery storage facilities are being built in Canada along a
highway.
