Energy

Energy companies face increasing demands to integrate renewable energy into the grid and manage fluctuations in supply and demand.

The Sand Battery enables energy companies to store surplus renewable energy as heat, providing flexibility to balance intermittent energy sources like wind and solar. It reduces curtailment, enhances grid stability, and enables energy companies to supply climate-neutral heat to industrial processes or district heating networks, improving operational efficiency and lowering emissions.

District heating systems distribute heat from a central location to residential and commercial buildings, often relying on fossil fuels.

The Sand Battery offers a sustainable, high-efficiency solution for storing and delivering heat to district heating networks. It enables the integration of renewable energy into heating systems, reducing dependency on natural gas, coal, or oil. By storing heat during periods of low demand and releasing it when needed, the battery helps balance supply, reduces emissions, and lowers energy costs.

Space heating in commercial buildings (like hotels, spas, shopping centers or office buildings) or large residential buildings traditionally relies on fossil fuels, resulting in high carbon emissions.

The Sand Battery can store and supply renewable heat for space heating, replacing fossil-fuel-based systems. With the ability to store energy from renewable sources, it provides a cleaner, cost-effective solution for both commercial buildings and large residential buildings, reducing the carbon footprint of heating systems while offering flexibility and reliability.

Wind and solar farms produce intermittent energy that often exceeds immediate demand, leading to curtailment. Our Sand Batteries can help stabilize the electricity grid by addressing frequency fluctuations caused by rapid, unpredictable changes in wind power production.

The Sand Battery allows renewable energy farms to store surplus energy as heat, preventing curtailment and ensuring that energy can be used when needed. This enhances the efficiency of renewable energy installations and contributes to grid stability, while also providing a renewable heat source for industrial and district heating applications.
