Grid Flexibility in the Energy Transition: The Role of Thermal Storage
Energy Transition and New Demands on the Power System The energy transition toward a decarbonized, highly distributed, and digitalized system requires a deep reconfiguration of the traditional electricity system. Furthermore, the massive integration of renewable energy sources with high variability and uncertainty complicates the operational stability of the power grid. In this context, the concept […]
Thermal storage as a key element in the renewable electrification of industrial processes
Industrial processes, unlike the tertiary and residential sectors, require a higher proportion of heat than electricity. For this reason, the integration of renewable energies in these processes must consider thermal components that replace fossil generation systems. In this sense, different ways of obtaining renewable heat arise: Through biomass Through solar thermal energy Through renewable photovoltaic […]
Industrial solar thermal energy is here to stay
In recent times, the pandemic and geopolitical tensions have caused both gas and electricity to increase in price to levels never seen before. At the end of April 2022, gas stood at 92 euros/MWh and electricity at 205 euros/MWh. And it is that this phenomenon is causing a strong impact on those industries that depend […]
