Although the conceptualisation of the ETES system is traced back to 2011, the models were developed and validated from 2012 onwards. A pilot ETES system with 700kW charging power and 5MWh storage capacity was successfully implemented at a test site in 2014. The proven success of. .
The ETES pilot project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy, under its 6th Energy Research Programme 2011-2016, which aims to develop cost-effective techniques for storage of larger. .
The ETES prototype uses 1,000 tonnes (t) of volcanic rocks as the medium for energy storage. The facility is charged using hot air produced with the help of a resistance heater. .
The ETES technology is based on 80% off-the shelf components and provides a flexible solution for storing surplus power and discharging the. .
The ETES system’s energy efficiency for storing direct heat or heat converted from electricity is expected to be 99%. The energy efficiency for producing electricity from the stored. The 130MWh Electric Thermal Energy Storage (ETES) demonstration project, commissioned in Hamburg-Altenwerder, Germany, in June 2019, is the precursor of future energy storage solutions with gigawatt-scale charging and discharging capacities.
