100MWh heat battery powered by solar PV for 24hr industrial heat and steam

🚀 Industry milestone! The world’s largest industrial heat battery is now RUNNING. At Rondo Energy, we just announced this unit: a 100 MWh Rondo Heat Battery, delivering steam 24-hours per day, powered entirely by solar. It has completed construction, commissioning and has been operating for >2 months and counting, fully meeting all customer contract specifications. Yesterday, Rondo was a company with a stellar concept, pilot in operation, and a number of announced projects in delivery. Today, we have proven the technology at full commercial scale. Headline is this is a solution for industrial plants to switch from gas to off-peak electricity, as a CHEAPER and zero-carbon, source of energy for their heat. The technology is a triple win: - Industrials can switch to cheaper energy for their heat, and decimate carbon emissions at the same time. - Rondo Heat Batteries add massive demand side flexibility to the power system. Exactly what the system needs to keep deploying renewables at pace. - A solution to advance electrification even in the face of congested grids, as flexible load uses existing networks when they are underutilized, during off-peak times. This also means better utilization of networks, so cheaper network fees for all network users. Industrial decarbonization is here. And it cuts cost. press release: https://lnkd.in/eCXSrhdK early coverage: https://lnkd.in/esJb6QmK

📣 A Roland Berger study published today shows that decentralized energy solutions have the potential to create up to €255 billion in total economic value for Germany by 2045 — that equates to up to €13 billion per year. Specifically, the study (published together with over 20 industry leaders) shows that smart decentralized energy solutions have the potential for:   ☑︎ Up to 50% lower energy costs for private households and SMEs   ☑︎ Up to 100,000 new jobs in our industry  ☑︎ Up to 40% less cost-intensive grid expansion required 🚀 gridX CGO and Managing Director Tim Steinmetz adds: The technology for this is already available. Our survey of end customers has shown that the willingness is already there: 77% want to actively participate in energy markets to generate income, but only 10% are already using such solutions. This is mainly due to a lack of market mechanisms, processes, and incentives to fully exploit the enormous potential of decentralized flexibility. 💪 Now is the turning point at which we can work together to transform Germany into an innovative and renewable pioneer at a low cost. 👉 Let's seize opportunities and make energy affordable – we're ready! 👀 All details of the study can be found here: https://lnkd.in/ehWA2-T3 Together with: 1KOMMA5°, Enpal, LichtBlick SE, Octopus Energy, thermondo, Volkswagen Group, Bosch, E3/DC, enercity, Energy Partners, MAXX SOLAR & ENERGIE GmbH & Co.

These aren’t from a sci-fi movie — they are Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants. CSP uses heliostats massive mirrors that focus sunlight onto a central tower containing molten salt, heating it to nearly 600°C. ⚡ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: 1. Mirrors reflect sunlight to a central receiver. 2. Molten salt in the tower absorbs and stores the heat. 3. The stored heat produces steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. ✔️ 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐒𝐏: ❖ Energy Storage: Molten salt allows electricity generation even at night. ❖ High Efficiency: Can operate in large-scale solar farms where traditional PV panels may be less effective. ❖ Grid Stability: Provides dispatchable energy, helping to balance demand fluctuations. 🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐒𝐏 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: With global renewable energy targets rising, CSP offers a solution to intermittency issues faced by conventional solar PV systems. It’s being adopted in regions with high direct sunlight and large-scale energy needs, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable energy grid. 🔗 References & Data: CSP plants like the Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex (Morocco) and Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project (USA) demonstrate round-the-clock electricity supply capabilities. CSP efficiency can reach up to 24–35%, depending on technology and location. 💬 In Summary: CSP is not just another solar technology — it’s a game-changer for large-scale, reliable, renewable energy. ❓ Engagement Question: How do you see CSP complementing solar PV and other renewables in the global energy mix?
