This allows:
- The thermal storage medium allows storage capacities in the GWh scale
- The thermal storage is integrated into the power plant, reusing the existing infrastructure
- The Carnot Battery provides heat and power, reaching an overall efficiency of over 90% and allowing sector coupling
- The “2nd Life” application of existing power plants gives decomissioned power plants a new role in supporting renewables
