solar generators keep running at night - energy storage system price
Jerusalem -
The goal of Israel's Brenmiller Energy Company is to solve the problem of producing solar Energy at night with a new Energy storage system that says it is a substitute for other solar technologies, will help to provide prices in a competitive environment.
At different times, solar energy has always been considered a source of fuel for the future.
But it still has problems, storing power generation without daylight is a difficulty, not to mention the relative cost of technology, especially when compared to fossil fuels.
However, Israel's blummiller energy company said both issues had been resolved.
Avi Brenmiller, CEO of Brenmiller Energy, said, "in order to get renewable energy into the next stage, we need to provide renewable energy at any time when humans need it, when the sun shines or the wind blows, no, no.
So storage is the name of the game.
We will use this technology in the amount of conventional fuelprices]
The same availability is available all day.
I think this is the main breakthrough here.
"On its 6Ha site in the Negev desert, a row of parabolic mirrors tracks the sun and concentrates light to produce steam, which drives the turbine to generate electricity.
Some of the sun's heat is stored underground, using a new system that can operate without sunlight.
"We first concentrate the solar energy into the receiver, there is a flow medium inside the receiver, the flow medium is heated to 500 °c, and then move to another ground storage area to heat the storage medium, steam is then generated from the same storage medium to operate the steam turbine.
While the company won't reveal its technical secrets, it does say cement-
Like materials, it is the key to storing heat.
Brenmiller believes that this is more effective than other systems, such as those that use molten salt, who say only 5% of the stored energy is lost within 24 hours.
Amit Mor, CEO of Eco Energy, consulted the World Bank on Energy issues.
He said he was excited about brummiller's work.
"It's producing electricity at a very expensive cost, a concentrated solar energy --
According to my understanding, there is no other technology in the world like this, "Mor said.
Brenmiller says its website generates grid parity, and at this point the cost of electricity generated by renewable energy is the same as the cost of electricity generated by fossil fuels --powered plants. The 1.
At present, the 5-megawatt Negev base has been connected to the Israeli state grid, and brummiller said that its ambitious overseas base construction plan is fully advanced.
