Clean, co-generated steam is used for district heating or industrial use. Malta's electro-thermal energy storage system is composed using components with a long and proven record in the field. Molten salt is the most mature technology used in thermal storage.
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.
Malta’s utility scale and inertial component make it uniquely suited for power companies with a focus on resiliency ready to move to long duration today. When coupled with renewables, Malta’s thermo-electric energy storage system enables the delivery of 24/7 green energy. Stores energy from any power generation source
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.
When discharging (injecting electricity into the grid) the system operates as a heat engine, combining the stored heat and cold together to generate electricity. Because a heat engine is driven by a change in temperature (T) the extraction of cold as well as heat makes the Malta system more efficient than other technologies.
