Thermal battery ready for construction

Our first commercial thermal battery is in production. It will be made “only” of steel and the high-performance contrete Heatcrete®. This radical new technology helps industrial players, energy companies and various types of power plants to operate more energy-efficiently, more effectively (i.e. profits!) and to reduce CO2. Next, it will be transported to our Mebin manufacturing site in Europoort, Port of Rotterdam, for casting.

This view shows 63 thermal elements inside our TO6-7×9 steel cassette. Made of carbon steel piping, that works under pressure, and spirowound steel casing, they’re designed to be used with thermal oil as Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF). You can also see the spacers inside the spirowound casing, grabbing the piping, and ensuring that the piping remains in the right position during the next steps to follow: transport, casting and construction.

Smart grids connect generation, consumption, and storage – turning energy planning into a strategic discipline. Power-to-heat and thermal storage technologies show how industrial companies can combine flexibility with supply security.

Demand side management with thermal storage enables industrial companies to decouple electricity supply and heat demand over time. This makes it possible to take targeted advantage of price fluctuations without adjusting production.

Volatile power prices pose a challenge, but they also create opportunities for companies with flexible demand. Power-to-heat solutions combined with storage not only ensure a reliable heat supply but also offer economic benefits through targeted flexibility trading.
