Denmark has created a battery of salt to power 100,000 homes

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/8f/53/ib-FRBDVHQ9R_9F1D4D69.jpeg" Alt = "Denmark created a battery of salt for power 100 000 homes"/> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ < H2 class = "entry-sub-title" > in Denmark a system on molten salt is launched, which can feed 100,000 homes. Efficiency & ndash; up to 90%, keeps heat for up to 2 weeks.

< p >New energy storage system based on molten salt with a capacity of 1 GW-hour, & nbsp; developed & nbsp; Danish and Swiss engineers, capable of providing electricity to 100,000 buildings for 10 hours with impressive efficiency of up to 90%.

This innovative development is the result of cooperation between the Danish company Hyme Energy and the Swiss Sulzer. & Amp; nbsp; < strong > technology solves one of the biggest renewable energy problems & storage. & nbsp; it allows to accumulate energy from solar and wind power plants for use in low generation or high demand. The system uses molten hydroxide salt, which is an economically advantageous by -products of chlorine production.

< P > Benoa Martin, a manager of advanced technologies of Sulzer, emphasizes the importance of this technology. & Amp; nbsp; < Em > & ldquo; energy storage with molten salts & mdash; mdash; This is an attractive opportunity to help decarbonization of industry and speed up the energy transition & Rdquo; , & mdash; He notes. This technology can be used for heat recovery, renewable energy storage and small modular reactors.

< P > The partnership was set up after the successful launch of the Moss demonstration unit. This OB & Rsquo; ECT, located in ESB & Rsquo; Errh, Denmark, began work in April 2024. It has confirmed the efficiency of the renewable energy storage concept in molten salt at high temperatures.

< h2 > Unique energy storage technology

< P > The process of storage of energy in this system has two main phases: charging and discharge. During charging, electricity is converted to thermal energy. This leads to a rise in salt temperature to 600 & Deg; c, which is equivalent to 1112 & Deg; F.

< p >The system can store energy for up to two weeks by using a design with two tanks. & Amp; nbsp; < Em > & ldquo; our technology is designed for integration with existing infrastructure & rdquo; < 62; Emil Levshall-Essen, CEO of Hyme Energy, emphasizes ASC Emil. This greatly simplifies the implementation for industries seeking to move to sustainable energy.

< P > The key element of technology is a patented corrosion control system. This solves one of the main problems, which is due to the Rsquo; iced using molten salts & mdash; High corrosion activity. System discharge involves the circulation of hot salt through a steam generator.

< p > The steam generator produces a high -temperature pair that can be used in several ways. & Amp; nbsp; < strng >It can be directed directly to industrial processes or used for electricity production. & nbsp; system efficiency is impressive: up to 90% for industrial heat supply and from 80% to 90% for cogeneration.

~ < h2 > commercialization and large -scale projects

< p > Sulzer has considerable experience in the development of molten salt pumps. It supplied pumps for a 100 MW concentrated solar energy in China. This experience will be invaluable for commercialization of Hyme Energy technology.

< P > Benoe Martin explains the current state of the project: & nbsp; < Em > & ldquo; since MOSS plant demonstrates good results from the moment of its start, we are now working on further optimization of the system; The team is also working on increasing the competitiveness of the solution and creating a strong supply chain.

< P > Hyme Energy already develops the world's largest industrial heat storage system. This is OB & Rsquo; 200 MWh in Holstebro, Denmark. This system is estimated that the Danish-Swedish Milk Cooperative Arla Foods is about 3 million euros annually on technological heat equivalent to $ 3.1 million.

~ ~ ~ < P > ~ Hyme Energy summarizes its mission: & nbsp; < im > 62 ~ & ldquo; our reliable solution converts unstable renewable energy into stable, flexible green heat & This makes possible decarbonization of industrial processes without compromises on reliability and efficiency.
