Summary
The energy storage company SaltX Technology has now started the operation of the large-scale pilot at Vattenfall's Reuter C facility in Berlin.
SaltX Technology is a Swedish company that developed EnerStore, a globally patented groundbreaking nano technology whereby energy can be stored in salt indefinitely to provide heating or cooling. The new tech proved to be worth its salt in lab tests, so the next step was to look at the process on a larger scale.
During the summer of 2017, SaltX, and Vattenfall initiated a collaboration to construct a large-scale energy storage based on SaltX solution with nano-coated salt (NCS). Now - one and a half year later - the plant has been installed, tested and commissioned at Vattenfall's combined heat and power plant, Reuter-C in Berlin.
The next step for the parties is to perform actual testing of the energy storage for a number of months to evaluate both technology and functionality.
