Summary
Italian firm Magaldi Group, a specialist in ultra-high-temperature material handling, is poised to deploy its first large-scale application of a novel thermal energy storage system that uses a fluidized bed of silica sand. By the end of 2024, the system will be installed at an industrial facility owned by food company IGI in Buccino, Italy.
The Magaldi Green Thermal Energy Storage (MGTES) system is essentially a long-duration energy storage (LDES) solution that can be applied to both power-to-heat and power-to-heat-to-power applications, the company told POWER. The modular “sand battery” stores energy from renewable sources and then releases it in the form of high-temperature steam of between 120C and 400C.
