How can E2s power repurpose coal-fired plants?

E2S Power’s Solution to repurposing coal-fired plants by turning these into energy storage systems. While the boiler is replaced with the thermal storage module, all other plant components can be fully reutilized. At E2S Power, we’re developing a storage solution which in time can convert existing coal-fired plants into thermal batteries.

Can a coal-fired plant be converted into a thermal battery?

At E2S Power, we’re developing a storage solution which in time can convert existing coal-fired plants into thermal batteries. This not only allows reusing existing infrastructure ” it also helps to protect local employment, which is a point of major political concern in many regions worldwide.

What is E2s power thermal energy storage technology?

The E2S Power thermal energy storage technology has been validated in the E2S demonstration facility in Belgrade and enables the transformation of the coal power plants into green energy storage facilities and producers of CO2 free electricity.

What are energy storage materials?

Energy storage materials are based on Miscibility Gap Alloys (MGA) which have been developed by Australian partner MGA Thermal. These blocks consist of graphite and aluminium, the materials that have a long life, are abundant, safe and recyclable.

What are Mga elements used for storing thermal energy?

The MGA elements used for storing the thermal energy are special composites made of graphite and aluminium. The metallic component, i.e. the aluminium, has a melting point of around 660à‚°C, which is lower than the maximum system temperature during the charge-discharge cycle.
