24/7 green steam supply
and steam grid balancing
How to capture steam to improve energy efficiency, profitability or steam grid balancing?
Industrial operations are usually designed with back-up solutions to cope with under-supply and volatility of heat. In case of over-supply, heat dumping mechanisms are used to keep systems running, making production processes more expensive and less efficient. Trips in these processes can impose even more significant economic production impacts.
Our solution opens ways to avoid steam dumping or wasting natural gas, and also allows boosting power generation in big industrial clusters or power plants. By plugging ENERGYNESTs ThermalBattery™ into industrial operations, (excess) steam is captured, stored, and recycled into new production cycles. Heat is therefore no longer lost when there is no direct offtake, but is instead transformed into energy and green steam on demand for 24/7 use. The integrated storage system enables industrial operators to effectively balance their steam grids, increasing the security of steam supply, generating profitable fuel savings or extra profit from power generation, and ultimately decreasing operating costs.
Our applications for your industry
Steam power plants and steam generation are critical elements of any network’s generation portfolio but are often punished for their inflexibility. The ThermalBattery™ acts like an extraction by diverting live steam from the boiler away from the turbine when compelled and discharging back into the steam water cycle when opportune. The thermal storage responds within seconds to any change in load, or going from charge to discharge, enabling for the plant’s participation in a myriad of power markets and balancing the local steam grid and steam production. With fast ramping capabilities, the plant is also enabled for frequency regulation and participation in the reserve market.

Industrial processes are usually not designed for volatility. In order to attain stability, heating of endothermal- or cooling of exothermal processes must continue round the clock – adding major cost and resource burdens to power plants. But all too often batch processes or interruptions lead to imbalances between supply and demand requiring back-up boilers to start or steam to be dumped.
Our steam to steam storage system fills exactly this gap by storing, time-shifting and balancing high- or medium pressure steam to make it available on demand: achieving true balance needed for greener industrial processes.
Application Benefits

- Save money easily
- Optimize automation
- Increase security of supply
