Heat 2 Power []

The future of energy storage and power generation

• How heat recovery can work in industry: How to convert previously unused waste heat into electricity.
• How regenerative energy generation can be designed to be base load capable: How to store excess power.
• How you can generate electricity from renewable sources during dark periods.
• This is how you improve the efficiency of CHP units, small power stations or ship propulsion systems and at the same time reduce pollutant emissions.

Features

Power to Heat

Energy storage with heat storage

• Any energy source is possible
• Stores heat efficiently and cost-effectively
• Reliably bridges periods of low wind and darkness
• Modular and decentralized deployment

Heat to Power

Hot gas engine for reconversion to electricity

• Converts stored heat back into electricity
• High efficiency, low emissions
• Works with waste heat or biofuels
• Secure electricity without additional gas-fired power plants

Benefits for the Energy Transition

• A "Power-to-Heat-To-Power" system with the two innovations presented here is more efficient and cheaper than the existing solutions for energy storage.

  They are not only more efficient individually than previous solutions, the synergy is that they can use a common working gas without conversion into steam and without further heat extraction to other circuits as a tandem without additional equipment: air. It's that easy.

• The hot gas engine system is suitable for using any heat source, such like biofuels (bio-LNG, H₂, etc.), or heat from the thermo storage tank for converting into electricity. You don't need any other back-up power plants.

• With manageable effort, excess power can be smoothed or temporarily stored, thus making renewable energies base load capable.

• High-temperature heat storage and the new Heat2Power-Engine can also be placed decentrally as a tandem, for example linked to a district, and then used as part of a combined heat and power system.

• The "Power to Heat to Power" concept proposed here reduces the effort for grid expansion, gas power plants, fuels and other storage solutions immensely.
