6 FAQs about [Malta mass energy storage systems]

What is the Malta PHES energy storage system?

The Malta PHES energy storage system is built upon well-established principles in thermodynamics and uses conventional components that have been present in power plants for hundreds of years. Electricity from the grid is used to heat molten salt and cool a chilled liquid. In these forms, energy can be efficiently stored for long durations.

What is electro-thermal energy storage in Malta?

Malta's electro-thermal energy storage system is built upon well-established principles in thermodynamics. When charging (taking electricity from the grid) the system converts electricity to heat, in molten salt, and as cold in a chilled liquid. In these forms, this energy can be efficiently stored for long durations.

How is energy stored in Malta?

Energy is gathered from wind, solar, or fossil generators on the grid as electrical energy and sent to Malta’s energy storage system. The electricity drives a heat pump, which converts electrical energy into thermal energy by creating a temperature difference. The heat is then stored in molten salt, while the cold is stored in a chilled liquid.

What materials are used in a Malta energy storage system?

All materials and components used in Malta’s system are fully recyclable and can be reclaimed after use. Common metals and alloys, like steel and aluminum, make up the bulk of the piping, turbines, and other mechanical equipment used in a Malta energy storage system. We Want To Hear From You!

How is the Malta plant built?

It is built using proven subsystems deployed around the world today, like heat exchangers, molten-salt and industrial-coolant storage, and turbomachinery. The base Malta plant can discharge 100-MW of clean energy for 10-to-200+ hours. Designed for flexibility, its charge and discharge speeds can be independently tailored to meet an owner’s needs.

Does Malta use commodity antifreeze?

Malta uses commodity antifreeze to store liquid at below-freezing temperatures. Antifreeze solutions are commonly used as heat transfer fluids, making them some of the best-understood liquids in the energy sector. All materials and components used in Malta’s system are fully recyclable and can be reclaimed after use.
