Hybrid concrete tanks for future-proof energy storage
Energy storage systems are becoming increasingly important in the course of expanding generation from wind power and photovoltaics in order to resolve the residual load issue in electricity grids. Electricity storage can be complemented by heat storage systems to relieve grids of some of their burden by converting excess electricity from distribution grids to heat and to subsequently use it for heating purposes (power-to-heat), rather than disconnecting wind turbines from the grid. In the event of supply gaps, future plans provide for an increasing share of combined heat and power systems to...
